A record 12 Hope College athletic teams, including all nine women's teams, have received the 2008-09 GPA Team Award from the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA). The MIAA Team GPA Award is presented to conference teams that achieve a 3.300 or better grade point average for an entire academic year. This program is administered by the Faculty-Athletic Representatives (FARs) of the MIAA member colleges. The FARs at Hope College are Lynne Hendrix, Professor of Accountancy, and Dr. Mark Pearson, Assistant Pprofessor of Mathmetics. Hope teams receiving the award were women's basketball, men's and women's cross country, men's and women's golf, men's and women's tennis, women's soccer, softball, women's swimming & diving, women's track & field, and volleyball. The women's cross country team, coached by Dr. Mark Northuis, has the distinction of receiving the honor all 11 years since the award program was instituted in 1998-99. The 2008-09 MIAA Academic Honor Roll includes 191 student-athletes from Hope. A student needed to maintain a minimum 3.5 grade point average the entire school year to receive the honors. Hope's honorees include 14 seniors who achieved the Honor Roll distinction four consecutive years.
