What I really love is that every one of our teams earned at least a 3.2 GPA, which shows that our success in the classroom is ingrained as a part of our culture,&#8221; Blair said. &#8220;Our student-athletes continue to raise the bar academically while competing at the highest level. That&#8217;s a testament to their hard work as well as the incredible support system provided by our coaches, faculty and academic staff. This is what it means to be a Rocket \u2014 pursuing excellence in everything we do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;All teams earning a 3.2 or higher GPA for the first time ever and six teams setting GPA records is so remarkable,&#8221; added Associate Athletic Director of Student Athlete Academic Services Jillian Lehman. &#8220;I continue to be impressed with our student-athletes at the level they compete in all areas, but especially in the classroom. Of course, I must give credit to our coaches; they are the biggest supporters of these student-athletes in achieving academic success.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Women&#8217;s Golf achieved the highest GPA in the department with a 3.876, which is second all-time for any Toledo sports, trailing only the record of 3.913 set by Women&#8217;s Tennis in fall 2023. Women&#8217;s Tennis was second with a 3.861 GPA, followed by Men&#8217;s Golf (3.853).<\/p>\n<p>Women&#8217;s Golf and Men&#8217;s Golf were two of six teams that set GPA records for the semester, joined by Baseball (3.558), Football (3.250), Men&#8217;s Cross Country (3.614) and Women&#8217;s Cross Country (3.683).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/01_07_2026\/rockets-earn-school-record-3-481-grade-point-average-in-fall-semester\"><img width=\"120\" height=\"120\" src=\"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Athletcs-Fall-2025-GPA-150x150.jpeg\" class=\"alignright tfe wp-post-image\" alt=\"Graphic announcing University of Toledo student-athletes earned a school-record grade point average of 3.481 in the 2025 fall semester.\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a><p>UToledo student-athletes topped a 3.4 GPA for the fourth time in school history; every sport earned at least a 3.2 for the first time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":96552,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[50,56,1,7],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96551"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=96551"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96551\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":96554,"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96551\/revisions\/96554"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/96552"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=96551"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=96551"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=96551"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
