The Iowa High School Athletic Association recently recognized the Washington boys’ soccer and golf teams in the 2016-17 Academic Achievement Awards.

The soccer team was recognized in the Excellence in Academic Achievement category where the overall grade point average (GPA) of the team must be at least a 3.0. They finished the year with a 3.02 GPA and were one of just 11 soccer teams to accomplish that feat, including being the only team in the conference to do so.

The golf team was awarded the Distinguished in Academic Achievement, given to a team with an overall GPA of 3.3 or higher. The Demons held a 3.54 GPA, which is the sixth highest GPA for any golf team in the state.
