"The academic performance of our student-athletes is an extremely important part of what we do as an athletic department," said SFCC Athletic Director Darren Pannier.
"These grade point averages show the hard work that our student-athletes put in the classroom. This also shows the quality of student-athletes that our coaches are able to recruit and retain. The administration, faculty, and staff also play a critical role in the academic success of our student-athletes. As a group, we will continue to place the academic success of our student-athletes at the forefront of everything we do," he concluded.
