UCF Athletics Places 86th on Spring Academic All-Big 12 Team – UCF Athletics

Following the conclusion of the track and field year and spring seasons, 86 UCF student-athletes have been named to the 2024 Spring Academic All-Big 12 Team, the conference announced Tuesday.

Rowing had 27 student-athletes selected and softball had 16 players selected, the most of any softball team in the Big 12. Track and field also had 16 on the team, baseball had 10, men's tennis had six, followed by women's tennis with five, and men's and women's golf each had three student-athletes named to the team.

Seventy-six players were named to the first team, a recognition given to student-athletes with a GPA of 3.2 or higher.

To be eligible, student-athletes must have a GPA of 3.0 or higher, either cumulatively or for the two preceding semesters, and must have participated in 20 percent of their team's scheduled competitions. Freshmen and transfers are not eligible in their first year of academic residency. Senior student-athletes who have participated for at least two years and meet all criteria except percentage of participation are also eligible.

UCF student-athletes have extended their record streak in the classroom to 33 consecutive semesters with a department grade point average of 3.0 or higher, including 10 consecutive semesters with a 3.3 or higher grade point average.
The Knights combined for a 3.42 GPA in the spring 2024 semester, tying for the highest semester GPA in program history.
More than 75% of student-athletes achieved a GPA of 3.0 or higher in the spring semester, and 63 achieved a perfect GPA of 4.0.

The academic statistics are based on 398 student-athletes who were on UCF rosters last semester, with 140 on the Dean's List, 109 on the Athletic Director's Honor Roll and 44 student-athletes on the President's List.
UCF has achieved a department-wide GPA of 3.3 or better in 10 consecutive semesters. The Knights have not had a semester below a 3.0 since the fall of 2007. The highest 12 semester grades in school history have come in the last 14 semesters, as the Knights have continued to win championships in their competitive areas.
