<div class="sidearm-story-template-text"><strong>LAWRENCE, Kan. &ndash;</strong>&nbsp;Kansas Athletics achieved a new academic milestone during the Spring 2025 semester, as student-athletes combined for a department-record 3.50 GPA.

This is the sixth straight semester Kansas student-athletes have either tied or broken the department record.<br /><br />"We are frankly running out of ways to describe the awe-inspiring performance of our student-athletes in the classroom," Director of Athletics&nbsp;<dfn><a href="https://kuathletics.com/staff-directory/travis-goff/166" rel="smarttag" rev="166">Travis Goff</a></dfn>&nbsp;said. "Each semester, our group finds new ways to elevate the standard as the landscape around them continues to change at a rapid pace.
