GW ranked fifth on A-10 student-athlete honor roll
GW placed fifth on the Atlantic 10 Commissioner’s Honor Roll last Thursday, with 165 student-athletes making the list. All student-athletes currently holding a 3.0 cumulative GPA made the honor roll, which totaled 1,783 students from the 12 A-10 universities.

Women’s rowing led GW with 27 student-athletes on the list, while the men’s and women’s basketball teams placed lowest, combining to put only five students on the honor roll.

The list did not include the GW men’s rowing, squash and men’s and women’s water polo teams, which are not recognized by the A-10.

The freshman class placed the most students on the honor roll for GW with 51, while the junior class fared the worst with 33.

Duquesne placed first on the list with 211 student-athletes making the honor roll. La Salle, Dayton and Massachusetts also finishing ahead of GW in order.

GW’s 165 total marked a four-student increase from last year.
