Three GW student-athletes have been honored with the 2026 Outstanding Academic Achievement Award: Benjamin Sosnowski, Kylie Kazmierski and Catherine O'Rourke.

A way to honor academic excellence, the Outstanding Academic Achievement Award is presented to students who are in approximately the top two percent of their respective school, by grade point average, who have earned at least 60 college credits by the fall 2025 semester, with at least 30 being obtained at GW.
