TEMPE, Ariz. – For the fourth consecutive year, the Arizona State University athletics department is second in the Pac-12 Conference for most teams recognized by the NCAA for their high 2016-17 Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores.
Six ASU teams earned APR scores in the top-10 percent, all of which recorded a perfect 1000, as announced by the NCAA Wednesday.
Men's golf, women's golf, gymnastics, beach volleyball, women's tennis, and volleyball earned a perfect 1000. Volleyball earns its fifth consecutive top-10 recognition while men's golf earns it's fourth.
The Sun Devil women's tennis team has the honor of earning a perfect 1000 for all 13 years of the program, the only team in the sport among the Division I Power Five conferences to do so.
"We are proud that for the fourth consecutive year, we are second in the Pac-12 Conference for most teams recognized by the NCAA with Academic Progress Rates in the top-10 percentile in the country," said Jean Boyd, Executive Senior Associate Athletic Director. "In a conference noted for academic excellence, to compete in such an elite fashion speaks to our collective commitment to student-athlete academic performance."
For the past 13 years, NCAA APR has been used to measure academic achievement for all Division I sports teams. APR tracks academic progress each semester for each student-athlete on scholarship, accounting for eligibility, retention, and graduation, and provides a measure of each team's academic performance.
Scores required to be in the top-10 percent this year ranged from 985 to a perfect 1000 this year. A total of 1,284 teams from 312 schools have been recognized.
Multi-year APR's for all Division I sports will be announced by the NCAA on Wednesday, May 23.
