Wyoming boasted the 16th-best team GPA in the country in 2023-24, posing a cumulative GPA of 3.67 this past academic year. A total of nine Cowgirls were named to the Mountain West All-Academic Team this school year while three were named to the College Sports Communicators Academic All-District Team. On the court, UW made it to the Great Eight of the WNIT in 2024, after a third-place finish in the Mountain West.

The WBCA Academic Top-25 recognizes NCAA Division I, II, II, NAIA and two-year women’s basketball programs across the country.

“The WBCA is pleased to recognize those women’s basketball programs that have committed themselves to excellence on the court and in the classroom,” said WBCA Executive Director Danielle Donehew. “The teams we honor this year strive to achieve all-around success and we commend their efforts!”

The Cowgirls were an honorable mention top-25 academic squad a season ago and were the No. 13 team in 2021-22.

University of Wyoming’s Top 50 Football Players

During the summer of 2021, 7220Sports.com counted down the Top 50 football players in University of Wyoming history, presented by Premier Bone & Joint Centers, Worthy of Wyoming.

The rules are simple: What was the player's impact while in Laramie? That means NFL stats, draft status or any other accolade earned outside of UW is irrelevant when it comes to this list.

This isn't a one-man job. This task called for a panel of experts. Joining 7220's Cody Tucker are Robert GagliardiJared NewlandRyan Thorburn, and Kevin McKinney.

We all compiled our own list of 50 and let computer averages do the work. Think BCS -- only we hope this catalog is fairer.
