BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana University's men's golf, women's tennis, and field hockey programs are among an elite group of Division I sports teams that earned NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) public recognition from the NCAA Wednesday.
Based on their most recent multi-year APR (2013-14 through 2016-17), these three teams posted multi-year APRs in the top 10 percent of all squads in each sport. Each earned a perfect score of 1,000 for the single-year and multi-year calculations.
Men's golf is being recognized for the 11th consecutive year and for the 12th time in the APR Public Recognition program's 13-year history. This is the seventh consecutive recognition for women's tennis, and the second straight for field hockey.
"Congratulations to our students, coaches and support staffs from our men's golf, women's tennis and field hockey programs for this prestigious recognition," said IU Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Fred Glass. "Striving for our academic potential and earning IU degrees are two of our department's highest priorities, and these three programs have done that at an elite level. We are proud of their achievements and commend each of them for their dedication to excellence in the classroom."
The APR provides a real-time look at a team's academic success each semester by tracking the academic progress of each student-athlete on scholarship. The APR accounts for eligibility, retention and graduation and provides a measure of each team's academic performance.
Each year, the NCAA honors selected NCAA Division I sports teams by publicly recognizing their latest multiyear NCAA Division I Academic Progress Rate. This announcement is part of the overall Division I academic reform effort and is intended to highlight teams that demonstrate a commitment to academic progress and retention of student-athletes by achieving the top APRs within their respective sports.
Multi-year APRs for all Division I sports teams, including the teams receiving public recognition, will be announced May 23.
