By:
DULUTH - UMD is celebrating the success of their student athletes.
They have more than 400 student athletes this year, and combined they averaged a GPA of 3.14.
They also had a great competitve season, both regionally and nationally.
Aside from their academic and athletic achievements, they've worked together to make a positive impact on their community.
Josh Berlo, UMD Athletic Director said, "The athletic component and the community component is really important because that teaches them some really critial life lessons about success, teamwork, adversity and failure. We want them to be great, well rounded, extremely successful professionals."
This year was a record year of giving back to the community, including volunteering with the Boys and Girls Club and Mentor Duluth.
