For the ninth consecutive semester, student-athletes at Lincoln Trail College have combined to have a GPA of at least 3.0. The athletes combined for a 3.15 GPA in the Spring ’18 semester and for the 2017-18 academic year, they combined for a 3.21 GPA.
“I’m really proud of our athletes,” says Athletic Director Kevin Bowers. “They work very hard in their sports, but they also put in a lot of effort in the classroom and that shows.”
The softball team recorded the top marks among LTC teams with a combined 3.41 GPA for the academic year. The team had a 3.51 GPA in the spring.
The baseball team finished the year with a 3.32 GPA and the volleyball team was right behind with a 3.31 GPA. The women’s basketball team had a 3.17 GPA, the golf team finished the year with a 2.99 GPA and the men’s basketball team ended the year with a 2.75 GPA.
“We want our players to succeed academically,” says Bowers. “When they succeed in the classroom, that sets them up to be successful after they leave Lincoln Trail College and that’s very important to our coaches and the faculty and staff at the college.”
Bowers says that one of the reasons student-athletes at Lincoln Trail College are able to perform as well as they do in the classroom is because of the academic help available to not just athletes, but all students. “We’re very fortunate to have so many caring people at LTC. Our instructors work hard to set up our students to succeed. We also have great resources available in the Learning Skills Center and in the Library. Our advisors also do a great job.”
