ROHNERT PARK, Calif-  Sonoma State University student-athletes continue to excel in the classroom. During the Fall 2009 semester, 51 student-athletes received Academic Distinction by earning a grade point average of 3.50 or higher. Eight of these student-athletes earned a perfect 4.00 grade point average. Additionally, 124 Seawolf student-athletes earned a 3.00 grade point average or higher while pass a minimum 12 semester units. This number represents 50.34% of all Sonoma State student-athletes.

“The success of our student-athletes in the classroom reinforces our commitment to academic excellence. Such commitment is the foundation of our intercollegiate athletic program,” Said Bill Fusco, Director of Athletics. “In addition to the achievements of our student-athletes, it is important to recognize the efforts of our coaches, faculty, and University administration for their support of our academic endeavors.”

Among the programs with the most honorees, Women’s Cross Country led all sports for the Fall 2009 semester with a team grade point average of 3.43.

According to the most recent U.S. Government graduation rates (2002-03 cohort), Sonoma State student-athletes graduated at a 13% higher rate than the general student-body.
