Smartest . . . ever

A press release, hot off the presses . . .

The University of Utah’s intercollegiate athletics teams had their best semester ever in the classroom in the fall of 2010, earning a combined 3.069 grade point average.
The Utes’ classroom success was a balanced effort. Eleven of Utah’s 18 teams achieved at least a 3.0 GPA during the fall term, led by the women’s gymnastics and women’s ski teams. Both squads placed 100-percent of their student-athletes on the Athletics Director’s Honor Roll (3.0 GPA or better).
Overall, 56-percent of Utah’s student-athletes were named to the Athletics Director’s Honor Roll. More than 25-percent made the Dean’s List by earning a 3.5 GPA or better in a minimum of 12 graded units.

“We appreciate the hard work of our student-athletes,” said Utah Athletics Director Dr. Chris Hill. “It is a great credit to them to be able to achieve at such a high level both academically and athletically. We never want to lose sight of what the top priorities are at the University of Utah.”
