The New Mexico State University Athletics Department celebrated the achievements of 101 student-athletes at the El Paso Electric Crimson and White Society ceremony this past spring. Each of the inductees earned a 3.5 grade point average or higher during the 2010-11 school year.

For the 12th consecutive semester, the cumulative GPAs of all 17 men’s and women’s teams were at least a 3.0 and more than half of Aggie student-athletes had at least a 3.0 semester and/or a 3.0 cumulative GPA.

The Aggies had 26 student-athletes post a perfect 4.0 in the spring semester, and three student-athletes maintained a perfect 4.0 cumulative GPA.

Student-athletes earned more than 6,000 credits during the spring semester and 28 participated in the spring 2011 commencement ceremony.

NMSU’s student-athletes once again volunteered more than 5,000 community service hours in support of youth in the community, while many of the Aggie athletes exceeded their required threshold.

The Aggies also experienced success within the WAC. NMSU finished in third place in the final WAC Commissioner’s Cup standings, which reflects a composite point total earned through finishes in WAC regular season and tournament championships.
