Football reaches semester academic goal
MEQUON, Wis. – Concordia University Wisconsin's football team has many performance goals for the gridiron, but it recently achieved a much more important goal off the field. The Falcons attained a team grade point average of 3.0 for the second semester of the 2011-12 academic year.
"CUW's student-athletes are here to get a degree and excel in academics, first and foremost," head coach Greg Etter said. "I am proud of the efforts of our football student-athletes and their results in the classroom reflect their dedication to being a complete student-athlete."
Below is a list of football student-athletes who achieved a grade point average of 3.0 and higher. The year listed is their year in school as a student, not as a student-athlete.
