For the 32nd consecutive semester, the Murray State athletics department recorded a GPA of at least 3.0 across all sports and did it with the single-highest semester GPA in recorded history.
McSwain, a graduate of Hopkinsville High School, competes on the track and field team where she finished ninth in the 400-meters at the OVC Championships and was part of the 1600-meter relay team that finished second.
