Record 353 Bison Named to AD Honor Roll

SHAWNEE – Despite unprecedented circumstances, Oklahoma Baptist student-athletes continued to achieve excellence in the classroom during the spring 2020 semester, landing a record 353 on the Athletics Director's Honor Roll with a cumulative grade point average of 3.20. In total, an incredible 96 Bison earned a perfect 4.0 GPA during the term.
 
"Proud is an understatement of the tremendous work our student-athletes achieved this semester," said OBU athletics director Robert Davenport. "In an unparalleled semester that saw the heartbreak of seasons ending too soon and tested the will of each individual, our student-athlete sstepped up and excelled in every manner." 

Many student-athletes saw their seasons come to a sudden end as COVID-19 not only ended the spring season as well as winter postseason, but also had all students participating in class sessions at home for the remainder of the semester. 

"It is a testament to the culture of excellence that our coaches have instilled in each of our programs," said Davenport. "But it is also truly the hard work our student-athletes continued to put in despite the uncertainty in the world right now."

To qualify for the AD's Honor Roll, a student must score a GPA of at least 3.0.
 
This marks 17 consecutive semesters that OBU's student-athletes have achieved a cumulative GPA higher than 3.0.
 

Taking care of business.

In an unprecedented semester, our student-athlete still got it DONE in the classroom!
