Thirty-six student-athletes had a perfect 4.0 for the semester, one short of the semester record of 37 set last spring. One-hundred one student-athletes were on the dean’s list, the fourth straight semester the 100 mark had been exceeded.
Leading the way was the Clemson women’s soccer program, which had a team record 3.42 for the semester. It marked the sixth straight semester that program had exceeded the 3.0 mark. Eighteen of the 25 Lady Tiger soccer players had at least a 3.0, the second straight semester Todd Bramble’s team reached that team record total.
