Focused: 2020/21 Student-Athletes Make A Scholarly Statement

With their 2020-21 competitive seasons cancelled, the CMU Blazers showcased their talents in the physical and virtual classrooms durign the coronavirus pandemic, surpassing all previous year's academic successes. The varsity teams combined to showcase an eye-catching number of scholar-athletes with 74.4% acheiving an academic score of 3.0 or higher. For returning and graduating student-athletes, these scores were based on the combined semesters of Winter 2020 and Fall 2020, while for rookie athletes, academic performances were recorded from Fall 2020.

"Our athletes have faced many obstacles this year and I am really proud of the way they have overcome these challenges and poured their focus into their studies," said CMU's Director of Athletics, Russell Willms. "Our programs aim to coach athletes to thrive when they face challenges, to develop strategies, to be able to adjust quickly as situations change and to perform under pressure. These academic results speak for themselves. The successes that our athletes have found this year will help to set new and higher standards for academic performance and establish team cultures of academic engagement and excellence."

Of the sixty-eight full-time student-athletes to score at or above a grade-point average of 3.0, twenty-eight athletes recorded elite academic scores of 3.7 or higher. Those athletes names are highlighted in bold.

CMU Athletics would like to congratulate our student-athletes on their academic successes and wish you all continued success in your forthcoming winter semester exams.
