SUCCESS FROM THE WATER
Minnesota had one of its best semesters in the classroom when the Gophers set a new program record with a cumulative grade point average of 3.42 teams, while its grade point average of 3.58 team appointments was second in program history, behind last spring’s result. As a department, the University of Minnesota set a new school record with a cumulative grade point average of 3.41 when the Gophers raised the stats for the sixth consecutive semester.
THREE TO LEAD IN 2021
Three Maroon & Gold student athletes will lead the Gophers as captains this season. Meade Avery (Lyme, NH), Lindsay Eliasen (Chanhassen, Minnesota), and Gabby Mullally (Neenah, Wisconsin) are selected to lead the program through a unique season.
