28 more student-athletes "get out"


When students "graduate" from Georgia Tech, the phrase we all use is "we got out in 1992". I've run into alumni from a number of different eras, and that phrasing is fairly universal. It's more about survival at GT than graduation.

So with that, there were 28 studen-athletes that "got out" last week. Congrats!!!

Kristi Miller is probably the most notable student-athlete to get out. She single-handedly elevated women's tennis at Georgia Tech into a national power. She was the one who set the trend, struck out to break new ground, and create a legacy all her own. After arguably the most successful women's athetic career in Georgi a Tech history, Kristi moves on in life. We wish her and all the graduates nothing but the best!!!
