Miami athletes earn all-time high GPA

For the fifth consecutive semester, Miami University student-athletes have achieved an all-time high grade-point average in the classroom.

During the Fall 2012 semester, the RedHawks combined for a 3.185 GPA, topping last spring’s 3.17 and the previous fall’s 3.16 average. It was the highest GPA recorded since the university started tracking intercollegiate GPAs in the fall of 2005.

Additionally, 16 of Miami’s 18 teams averaged a 3.0 GPA or above last semester.
