The previous record was 3.159 set in spring 2009.<\/p>\n<p>The 3.165 GPA also marked the third consecutive semester that UT student-athletes earned a combined GPA of 3.1 or higher, and the eighth time in the last 10 semester above a 3.0. Additionally, 12 of UT\u2019s 15 sport programs had team GPAs of 3.0 or above, tying the best mark in school history, and every program had a team GPA of at least a 2.6.<\/p>\n<p>Individually, a school-record 32 student-athletes earned perfect 4.0 GPAs last semester, while 119 individuals (more than 35 percent) earned a spot on the dean\u2019s list by garnering at least a 3.50 GPA. Additionally, a record 61 percent (208 of 338) of UT student-athletes achieved a 3.0 grade point average or better for the 2010 spring semester, the 13th consecutive semester in which at least half of Rocket student-athletes hit that mark and higher.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy just about any measure, this was the best semester ever in the classroom for our student-athletes,\u201d UT Vice President and Athletic Director Mike O\u2019Brien said. \u201cThe fact that we have reached a combined 3.1 GPA for three consecutive semesters really speaks to a consistent excellence in the classroom. Our student-athletes and everyone involved with their academic success \u2014 our coaches, staff and University faculty \u2014 should all be very proud of what they have achieved. We look forward to raising the academic bar even higher in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Women\u2019s soccer led the way with a team GPA of 3.629, followed by women\u2019s golf with 3.587.
