UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, Va. -- The Richmond Spiders have been recognized by the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) as one of the nation's top academic teams. The Spiders were one of just 59 men's golf programs in Division I to receive Presidents Special Recognition from the organization when it announced its team academic award winners last week, an honor reserved for schools with a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher. Richmond posted a team GPA of 3.71 during the 2019-20 school year.

This recognition for the Spiders is only the latest in a string of academic awards the team has received. Last month, rising senior Michael Baker and rising junior Michael Childress were named Srixon/Cleveland Golf All-America Scholars by the GCAA for their performance on the course and in the classroom during the 2019-20 school year. Earlier in the spring semester, the entire Spiders team won Richmond Athletics Men's Academic Team Award, which goes to the men's team with the highest GPA over the past year.

This is the ninth time in the last 11 years Richmond has been named a GCAA All-Academic Team, which requires a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or greater.
