[su_spacer size=”20″] Three University of Georgia varsity sports teams have been publicly recognized by the NCAA for outstanding achievement in the annual NCAA APR (Academic Progress Rate) report.
[su_spacer size=”40″] The recognition honors teams that scored in the top ten percent of all teams across the country in each sport.  Both the gymnastics and women’s swimming and diving teams scored a perfect 1000 and men’s basketball earned a score of 990.
[su_spacer size=”40″] “We are committed to the academic mission of the Athletic Association as well as our athletic mission,” said UGA J. Reid Parker Director of Athletics Greg McGarity.  “It’s always a point of pride when any of our teams are cited for academic achievement and congratulations are in order for these three teams.”
[su_spacer size=”40″] 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.
[su_spacer size=”40″] The NCAA will release its full APR report on May 27.
