PITTSBURGH --- For the third time in the past four years, the Carlow University Department of Athletics earned a spot at the top of the United States Collegiate Athletic Association President's Cup standings. Carlow secured third place this year and placed first in 2021-22 and 2023-24. The Celtics earned second place in 2022-23.
Established in 2018, the President's Cup is presented to the athletic department that scores the best in academic performance in the association. It is set forth to honor member institutions whose student-athletes excel in the classroom and to highlight the efforts of an athletic program to put the student first in its mission of providing opportunities for young people.
Based on the adoption of the above philosophy, the President's Cup committee rewards points to institutions by their rank against other institutions in program GPA, all-academic award winners (3.5+ GPA individuals) and overall athletic department GPA.
This season, Carlow saw 59 student-athletes named to individual sport all-academic teams. Nominees must be sophomores with a 3.5 GPA or higher to earn the award.
As a department, the Celtics boasted a 3.21 overall GPA this season.
