TicketsCINCINNATI - The grades are in and, for the 21st-consecutive grading period, University of Cincinnati student-athletes have combined to record a 3.0 or better grade-point average department wide as the Bearcats combined for a 3.312 GPA for the Fall 2018 semester. Along with the outstanding GPA for the department, four teams posted their highest cumulative GPA in program history.
To reach the departmental GPA, a record-breaking 325 student-athletes (73 percent of all Bearcats) earned a spot on the Bearcats Honor Roll (3.0+ GPA) while a record-breaking 224 student-athletes (50 percent) earned placement on the Dean's List (3.4+ GPA). Of those record breakers, 46 Bearcats posted a perfect 4.0 semester GPA to earn TopCat recognition. That group represented 15 different teams and both spirit squads with women's soccer leading the way with nine TopCats while football had six, lacrosse and cheer had five each and baseball, women's swimming & diving and women's track & field each had four.
Of UC's 17 teams, 16 recorded a team GPA of 3.0 or better with 10 programs scoring a 3.4 GPA or better. On top of that, six teams scored a 3.5 GPA or better in the fall semester. Leading the way overall was Janet Carl's women's golf team, who posted a cumulative 3.825 GPA, which also is a program record. Doug Martin's men's golf team posted the highest GPA of all men's teams at 3.521, which also is a program record. Luke Fickell's football team broke their program record from the Spring 2018 grading period with a cumulative 3.139 GPA while Neil Stafford's women's soccer squad recorded a program-record 3.77.
