Bowling Green State University Athletics
BGSU Presented With MAC FAR Award For Sixth Time In Eight Years
February 05, 2017 | General
Cleveland, Ohio – The Bowling Green State University women's athletics program was presented with the 2015-16 Mid-American Conference Women's Faculty Athletics Representative (FAR) Academic Achievement Award Saturday during the first half of the women's basketball teams' 86-50 win over Akron. MAC Commissioner Dr. Jon A. Steinbrecher presented BGSU with the award.
Bowling Green has won this award for the third consecutive year, four of the last five years and six of the last eight academic seasons. The FAR Awards are designed to recognize the conference institution with the overall highest grade point average (GPA) rank by gender.
"Congratulations to our female student-athletes," Director of Athletics Bob Moosbrugger said. "Excellence in the classroom and on the field of competition is what we strive for daily. Winning this title in six of the past eight years is an impressive achievement by our student-athletes, coaches and student-athlete services unit."
The conference FAR's worked with the Athletic Academic Advisors to compute an award that best represents the academic achievement of students in a competitive setting. Using the same ranking method as the long-time Reese and Jacoby trophies (traditionally awarded to the best overall male and female athletic programs in the MAC), the FAR Awards are given to those institutions male and female programs with the highest overall GPA rank points within the conference. Only MAC sponsored sports are used.
"Bowling Green Athletics has a long-standing history of success in the classroom," BGSU Cross Country and Track & Field coach Lou Snelling said. "Achieving the highest team GPA in the MAC is a consistent goal of my program, as well as the entire athletics department. We are proud of this success and applaud our female student-athletes for achieving at such a high level academically. The balance is takes to be successful in both venues is an important skill our student-athletes leave Bowling Green with. Thank you to our academic support staff, the learning commons staff and the BGSU faculty for being an important part of this success."
Bowling Green had the highest GPA rank as the Falcons women carried the highest league GPA in women's cross country, swimming & diving and softball, while posting the second highest GPA rank in women's basketball and the third best GPA rank in women's golf, gymnastics and volleyball during the 2015-16 academic year.
