TAR HEEL SPORTS POST OUTSTANDING ACADEMIC PROGRESS RATES
CHAPEL HILL – Seventeen University of North Carolina varsity athletic teams posted a four-year Academic Progress Rate of 980 or higher and four other teams were within four points of that score, according to figures released today by the NCAA. Overall, UNC’s 28 teams averaged 981, three points above the national average.
The Tar Heels had six programs that scored a perfect 1000 and another five that scored 990 or higher.
Nineteen of Carolina’s sports exceeded the national multi-year average for their respective sports.
The NCAA tracks classroom performance of student-athletes through the APR. The score measures eligibility and retention each semester at every NCAA institution. The APRs released on Wednesday are four-year rates that reflect scores from the 2010-11, 2011-12, 2012-13 and 2013-14 academic years.
UNC’s six programs with a perfect four-year rate of 1000 are men’s tennis, women’s fencing, women’s golf, gymnastics, women’s tennis and volleyball.
The NCAA recognized those teams last week for finishing in the Top 10 percent in the country in their respective sports. The women’s fencing and women’s golf teams earned Top 10 recognition for the 10th time in as many years. They are two of only 129 teams (14 in the ACC) across all NCAA programs that have accomplished that feat. No other public institution in the ACC has more than one team honored in each of the APR’s 10 years.
Men’s cross country, women’s lacrosse, rowing, men’s swimming and diving, and women’s swimming and diving averaged at least 990 over the last four years. Women’s basketball, women’s cross country, field hockey, men’s golf, men’s lacrosse, women’s soccer, softball, men’s indoor and outdoor track and field and women’s indoor and outdoor track and field measured four-year rates of at least 970.
The NCAA also released the single-year APR scores for 2013-14 (the most recent data available for all schools). Twelve UNC teams scored 1000 or better, including men’s basketball, and 25 of 28 sports scored 970 or better. Carolina’s overall average for 2013-14 was 986, up five points from the previous year and five points better than the national average for all teams of 981.
The dozen Tar Heel teams that scored 1000 in 2013-14 include men’s basketball, men’s cross country, women’s fencing, men’s golf, women’s golf, gymnastics, women’s lacrosse, men’s soccer, men’s swimming and diving, men’s tennis, women’s tennis and volleyball.
Baseball, women’s basketball, women’s cross country, field hockey, men’s lacrosse, rowing, women’s soccer, softball, women’s swimming and diving, men’s indoor and outdoor track and field, women’s indoor and outdoor track and field and wrestling scored at least 970 in 2013-14.
Highlights from individual programs from 2013-14 include:
• Baseball recorded its second straight score of 986.
• Men’s basketball (1000) posted its best score since a 1000 in 2008-09.
• Football’s four-year rate of 937 includes an 895 from 2010-11. However, over the last two years, football’s rate is 960.
• Women’s lacrosse had its second 1000 in the last three years.
• Men’s soccer’s 1000 is its best single-season rate.
• Wrestling posted its best score (983) in three seasons.
