TAR HEELS EXCEL IN NCAA’S ACADEMIC PROGRESS RATES
CHAPEL HILL – Carolina baseball and football set their highest single-year scores and a four-year best by Tar Heel wrestling highlight the University of North Carolina’s most recent Academic Progress Rates for student-athletes.
The NCAA uses the Academic Progress Rate to track the academic performance of scholarship students who compete on varsity teams. The score measures eligibility and retention each semester by student athletes at every NCAA institution.
Fifteen Tar Heel teams scored a perfect 1000 in the NCAA’s APR for 2019-20 and four programs – women’s fencing, women’s soccer, women’s swimming and diving and women’s tennis – registered perfect 1000s for the four-year rate, which measures 2016-17 through 2019-20.
The 15 teams that scored perfect 1000s in 2019-20 include women’s basketball, men’s cross country, men’s and women’s fencing, field hockey, women’s golf, gymnastics, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, women’s swimming and diving, men’s and women’s tennis and volleyball and wrestling.
Carolina’s 28 varsity teams averaged 992 out of 1000 in the NCAA’s metric, an increase of nine points on average from a year ago. UNC’s overall athletic department rating for 2019-20 was 992 and its four-year rating was 987.
Twenty-two of UNC’s 28 teams scored at least 980 and 16 achieved at least a 990. Every one of UNC’s teams scored at least a 961 in both the single-season and four-year rates.
Football set a single-season high with a 997, 23 points higher than its previous best, and baseball tied its yearly high with a 990.
Wrestling’s four-year rate of 992 marks the fifth consecutive year UNC has posted a four-year high in that sport.
This is the 17th year the NCAA has measured the APR and it’s the 17th time Carolina women’s fencing has scored a perfect 1000. Women’s golf scored its 16th 1000 and the gymnastics and volleyball teams registered 1000s for the 15th time.
In addition to 17 straight 1000s, the women’s fencing team combined with the men’s fencers to finish sixth at the 2021 NCAA Championship, the highest finish in program history.
This was women’s tennis’s 11th straight 1000. The Tar Heels won the 2021 ITA indoor national team title and ACC Championship and was a national semifinalist in the NCAA Championship.
Men’s soccer, which advanced to College Cup this spring, recorded its third consecutive 1000 and sixth in seven years.
Field hockey, which won its third consecutive national championship, hit 1000 for the second year in a row and ninth time overall.
