"Congratulations Mountain Lions on another successful year in the classroom!" said Executive Director of Athletics Nathan Gibson. "This was a milestone year, reaching 40 consecutive semesters/20 years in a row of a 3.0+ GPA. This is a great accomplishment for the current and former Mountain Lions and is a hallmark of the UCCS Athletic Department. This could not be done without the hard work of our student-athletes along with the great support of our coaches, staff and faculty who give great support to our students. Great job, Mountain Lions!"
