🔼 Class Acts. The field, court, course and every other field of competition wasn’t the only places the ‘Dawgs thrived this past fall.

Butler's student-athletes continued their impressive performance in the classroom, combining for a 3.527 GPA for the 2025 fall semester.
 
The achievement marks the 14th consecutive semester that Butler student-athletes combined for a 3.3 GPA or higher. The fall semester GPA is the highest for Bulldogs since 2020.

The fall semester saw 109 student-athletes earn a perfect 4.0 GPA. Butler also had 372 student-athletes make the Athletic Director's Honor Roll, which requires a GPA of at least 3.25.

🔼 Off To The Races. Now that’s how you start a new year.

The Butler track & field squad opened up the 2026 calendar year with a strong showing at the Illini Open in Champaign, Ill. this past weekend.

Four ‘Dawgs took home victories to highlight the meet.

Troy Larrison (200m), Ethan Falconer (200m), Matteo Rosio (mile) and Edward Mumford (long jump) all took home the top spot in their respective events.

🔼 25 Days Away. The weather might not be showing us, but the spring season is right around the corner.

Today marks just 25 days away from the return of Butler softball and lacrosse, who both are set to open their 2026 campaigns on Friday, February 6.
