A total of 66 Louisiana Tech student-athletes received the Conference USA Commissioner’s Academic Medal for the 2023-24 academic year, as announced by the league office on Wednesday.
The 66 Bulldogs and Lady Techsters tied for the second-highest total ever. For a third straight year, 20 percent of all LA Tech student-athletes received this academic achievement that is given to those who maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.75 or better (based on GPA in fall quarter only).
Since joining CUSA over a decade ago, LA Tech has had over 600 honorees become academic medalists.
Louisiana Tech also placed 226 of its student-athletes on the Conference USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll.
It marked the third straight year of having 200+ Bulldogs and Lady Techsters receiving this honor, which is given to those who maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or better for the 2023-24 academic year (based on GPA in fall quarter only).
LA Tech set a new record in percentage of all student-athletes earning this distinction as 64.85 percent were named to the CUSA Honor Roll (the previous record-high 61.8 percent occurred last year).
