Florida State's rise in the Director's Cup standings during the spring semester mirrors unprecedented success in the classroom by FSU student-athletes. A school-record 193 student-athletes earned a spot on the 2006 ACC Honor Roll. That's 23 more than the 2005 total.

"We continue to be proud of the commitment to success our student-athletes have shown in the classroom," said Mark Meleney, FSU's director of athletic academic support.

Meleney and his staff of academic advisors can also take pride in the number of student-athletes who earned perfect 4.0 GPAs – and a spot on the President's List – this past semester. Nineteen FSU athletes earned perfect GPAs.

That list includes two athletes who earned All-American honors in their respective sports this spring – women's golfer Caroline Westrup and cross country/track star Tom Lancashire.

Freshman football players Matt Dunham and Myron Rolle also earned perfect 4.0 marks during their first semesters on campus.

Meleney's staff can also boast about 68 athletes who earned a spot on the university's Dean's List, awarded to students with a 3.5 GPA or higher.

Among the Dean's List honorees are a handful of athletes who shined academically while their season was in full swing.

Included in that group were baseball players Bryan Henry, Michael Hyde, Buster Posey and Luke Tucker. Track's Andrew Diakos and Garrett Johnson and softball players Kim Hoffer, Natasha Jacob, Melissa May and Veronica Wootson also made the list.

The women's tennis team claimed the highest team GPA on campus with a 3.507 mark. Women's cross country (3.361), women's golf (3.254) and men's cross country (3.152) were next.

Women's swimming (3.099) and men's swimming (3.011) also had team GPA's over 3.0.

The average individual GPA for the semester was 2.849.
