CHARLOTTE, N.C. – For the 14^th consecutive season, Queens University of Charlotte student-athletes have continued their success in the classroom as the department recorded above a 3.0 grade point average. The Royals matched their record-breaking performance from a year ago with a 3.45 GPA in the 2024-2025 academic year. This spring, Queens student-athletes turned in a 3.46 GPA, the highest GPA in a single semester since the transition to Division 1.
 
"The Queens student-athletes are doing amazing work inside and outside the classroom," Queens Director of Athletics Cherie Swarthout stated. "A new program record for the spring semester while also matching our 3.45 GPA from the 2023-24 season, which was also a department record, is simply incredible. The Royals continue to make me proud, and I can't thank our athletic academic success team enough for their hard work this season. Tiffany Britten's team, along with our head coaches, have continued to carry out an intentional strategy that puts academic and athletic success together at the forefront of who we are, and I'm excited to see where we go from here as we wrap up year three of the DI reclassification process." 
 
In total, 413 student-athletes held a cumulative GPA of 3.3 or higher and were named to the Royals Athletic Directors Honor Roll. Additionally, 346 student-athletes achieved the Athletic Gold Standard for earning a 3.7 GPA or higher for the academic year. The Athletic Royal Society is exclusive to the Royals who recorded a perfect 4.0 GPA, and 65 student-athletes achieved that recognition this year. Queens Athletics saw 118 Royals receive their degrees this spring at Commencement.
 
Across all teams, the Queens Women's Swimming program turned in the highest GPA with a 3.76 mark.

Individually, Queens men's basketball standout Leo Colimerio was named to the D1-AAA Scholar-Athlete Team after turning in a 4.0 GPA and leading the Royals to their first 20-win season in Division 1 program history.

Across the ASUN, the Royals were highly successful with eight student-athletes earning ASUN All-Academic praise.
