Local athletes shine in academics; all 20 of Summit’s teams have GPAs above 3.0

For the second straight year, athletes at Summit High School have achieved a very impressive feat.

All 20 of the school’s 2022-23 varsity athletic teams have compiled an overall team grade point average above 3.0 on the first semester grade report, said athletic director Rob Peterson.

Peterson was extremely proud of all the SkyHawks and saluted them for also accomplishing this same goal of perfection during the 2021-22 year.

“As you probably know, students need at least a 2.0 in order to participate, but that is not good enough for this school, our athletes, our coaches, or our staff,” Peterson said. “Everyone has a hand in this and it is appropriate for everyone to celebrate this accomplishment.”

The teams with the top GPAs are boys’ tennis, girls’ tennis, and girls’ cross country.
