Cal State Fullerton women's gymnastics placed sixth in the nation in the 2007-08 academic standings compiled by the National Association of Collegiate Gymnastics Coaches.
The Titans' combined grade point average for the year was 3.5867, led by Jessica Merriam with a perfect 4.00. Southeast Missouri State finished at No. 1 at 3.82, followed by Winona State, Southern Utah, Michigan State, Ithaca and then Fullerton.
"I am very proud of the girls," said Head Coach Jill Hicks. "Three years ago when I got here, the Titans' gymnastics team was not in the top 50. They have made quite a jump."
