STUDENT-Athletes

One of the greatest prides of Green Bay Athletics is the ability to boast 48 STRAIGHT semesters of a department GPA of 3.0 or better, most recently accounting this past fall semester and dating back to 2000. These amazing students have also had a 3.3 GPA for the past 18 straight semesters!

As a whole in the fall 2023 semester, Phoenix student-athletes attained a semester GPA of 3.54, with eight of 14 varsity programs finishing with GPA’s of 3.65 or higher. The other six all achieved at least a 3.25 GPA. The 3.54 GPA is the second-highest mark for the entire department since the streak began in the Spring of 2000. An amazing track record when taking into account the number of hours student-athletes have to put in for training, competition, and more!
