Geer Cup

Dr. Fred Geer Academic Cup:
The Geer Cup is given annually to Avila's most outstanding student-athletes and teams. An individual male and female student-athlete is chosen each year, as well as the top men's and women's academic team, based on GPA. The individual and team winners of the Geer Cup are announced during Homecoming each Fall.

This academic tradition was started during the 2002-03 season as a way to recognize the hard work and dedication of student-athletes in the classroom, and to honor the legacy of current Avila professor and long-time Faculty Athletic Representative, Dr. Fred Geer.
