Always a priority with third-year head coach Mo Muhammad and staff, the UK gymnastics squad once again succeeded outside of the gym and in the classroom by placing eight student-athletes on the Southeastern Conference Winter Academic Honor Roll last week. The eight gymnasts marked the second-highest total among UK sports teams behind swimming and diving (15; three men, 12 women). The 36 total for the University of Kentucky was the third highest in the conference trailing only Florida and Georgia.
The 2005-06 SEC Winter Academic Honor Roll is based on grades from the 2005 Spring, Summer and Fall terms. Last semester, Kentucky led the conference with 52 student-athletes on the SEC Fall Academic Honor Roll.
