A total of 52 Prairie View A&M University student-athletes received special recognition for being named to the University Honor Roll in the spring 2004 and/or fall 2004 semesters. The honor roll is comprised of students who registered a grade point average of 3.5 or better for a semester.

Of the 52 student-athletes, 14 earned a perfect grade point average (4.0) in either the fall or spring semesters while two maintained a perfect average for both semesters. Thirty-seven student-athletes earned a GPA between 3.5 and 3.9 in the spring 2004 semester while 27 finished the 2004 fall semester on the honor roll. The top program was the men's track and field team with eight student-athletes who made the honor roll. Men's tennis softball followed with six.

Prairie View A&M University athletics director Charles McClelland was pleased with the achievements of the student-athletes for their academic successes.

"With so much being focused on the new NCAA academic standards, we're pleased with the academic accomplishments these student-athletes have made in the classroom," said McClelland. "We will continue to push our student-athletes to be the best they can be in their academic pursuits."
