MARIETTA, Ga. — Life University Athletics continued its strong academic momentum this quarter, delivering another impressive performance in the classroom while celebrating a new class of graduates and historic individual achievements.

A total of 486 student-athletes were named to the Athletic Director's Honor Roll, as the department posted a 3.300 GPA for the winter term. The consistent success reflects the continued commitment to academic excellence across Life U's programs.

Individually, 153 student-athletes earned a perfect 4.0 GPA, while a record-setting 160 posted GPAs between 3.5 and 3.99. Another 173 Running Eagles finished with GPAs between 3.0 and 3.49, highlighting the depth and balance of academic success throughout the department.

Team performance remained equally strong, with 18 of 19 programs finishing with a GPA above 3.0. Life University Competitive Cheer led the way, setting a new program record with a 3.605 GPA while earning the department's GPA Trophy.

Additional milestones were reached across multiple programs. Life University Men's Basketball (3.431) and Life University Women's Basketball (3.550) each established new non-summer GPA records, while five teams (women's track and field, women's soccer, men's soccer, competitive cheer, and women's lacrosse) all posted GPAs of 3.5 or higher. Life University Men's Lacrosse added to the department's success with a 3.347 GPA, marking its highest under head coach John Snow.

The department also recognized standout individuals through its RISE Awards, with Matthew Walker and Erica Irby earning the honor for their achievements during the quarter.

Life University Athletics also celebrated the academic accomplishments of its student-athletes at the Winter 2026 Commencement, where 33 Running Eagles representing 12 programs earned their degrees. The graduating class continued the department's tradition of excellence, with 12 student-athletes earning honors, including three Doctors of Chiropractic and two graduate degrees.

The ceremony was highlighted by a historic moment for Life University Women's Volleyball, as Victoria Davenport was named the university's Valedictorian. Davenport became the first student-athlete in program history to earn the distinction, graduating Magna Cum Laude and further cementing her place among Life U's academic elite.

With continued record-setting performances, team milestones, and individual achievements, Life University Athletics once again demonstrated its commitment to excellence both in competition and in the classroom.
