University of Missouri student-athletes completed another record-setting semester in the classroom, earning a cumulative spring 2025 grade-point average of 3.4, the highest spring semester student-athlete GPA in the university's history.
In addition, 89 Mizzou student-athletes earned 4.0 GPAs this spring — another spring semester record.
This marks the 17th-consecutive semester where Mizzou student-athletes produced an average GPA of 3.0 or higher. During the fall, student-athletes set the department’s overall highest single-semester GPA at 3.44.
"Mizzou student-athletes continue to set the standard in the classroom,” Director of Athletics Laird Veatch said. “Achieving the highest spring semester GPA in our department’s history is a testament to their discipline and commitment to excellence. I couldn’t be prouder of how they represent Mizzou."
"To follow a record-setting fall with another historic academic performance this spring speaks volumes about the culture our student-athletes have built at Mizzou,” Executive Athletics Director for Academic Services Tami Chievous said. “They’ve embraced the challenge of balancing elite competition with academic achievement, and their success reflects the tireless support from our academic staff, coaches and support staff."
Eight programs posted their highest spring semester GPAs in program history:
- Gymnastics: 3.719

- Women’s swimming and diving: 3.852
- Baseball: 3.284
- Men’s golf: 3.549
- Men’s track and field: 3.430
- Wrestling: 3.333
