COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – The challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent move to online courses only during the Spring 2020 semester never stood a chance. Tennessee Tech's student-athletes and students in athletic support positions attacked the semester with a renewed vigor, allowing the results to speak for themselves.
If turning in a Tech Athletics record GPA of 3.58 wasn't enough, an incredible 313 Golden Eagle student-athletes earned a place on the Spring 2020 Athletic Director's Honor Roll, shattering the previous mark of 241 set back in the Fall.
A whopping 101 of those student-athletes also posted a perfect 4.0 grade point average for the semester, earning spots on the Gold Club while breaking yet another record. Five Golden Eagle squads saw their entire roster of student-athletes make an appearance on the list, including women's basketball, men's golf, women's golf, tennis and volleyball.
