Boise State student-athletes continued to set the standard for academic excellence during the 2023-24 school year, combining for the highest department cumulative GPA in department history with a 3.42 for the spring semester. Over half of Boise State's sports programs set new GPA records, cumulative or semester, during the school year. Women's golf (3.82), softball (3.57) and football (3.18) set all-time records for semester GPA.

🔼 Inked A Deal. Boise State women’s golf will have a new member joining the team for the 2024-25 season. Emily Cadwell, the Boise native and transfer from Washington State, will compete as a Bronco after spending three years in Pullman, Wash.
