CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. - The Redhawks gymnastics program has done their part in defending their 2007 Academic National Championship by finishing the 2007-08 school year with an impressive team grade point average of 3.81, an improvement over last season's remarkable 3.74 G.P.A.

The gymnast's hard work in and out of the gym is very impressive. Along with the high G.P.A.; the Redhawks were the top team in the Midwest Independent Conference, defeated two top 20 teams (No.18 Kentucky and No. 16 Arizona State), advanced to the NCAA Regional, had a gymnast qualify as an alternate to the NCAA National Championship, and earned a final national ranking of No.30.

The final results of the academic competition will be announced later this summer by the National Association of Collegiate Gymnastics Coaches/Women (NACGC/W).
