BOULDER — The University of Colorado Academic Progress Rate (APR) report based on information for the four year period from 2013-14 through 2016-17 was released by the NCAA Wednesday with those of all other Division I schools, with CU once again reporting positive news for its intercollegiate athletic programs in that time frame.
The four-year APR average of CU athletic programs – 984 out of a possible 1000 – was just shy of last year's tally of 986, which itself had represented the sixth consecutive highest score since the NCAA's Academic Performance Program was introduced in 2003. Here are the significant accomplishments that CU student-athletes recorded in the latest NCAA report:
- Of CU's 15 programs (the NCAA combines indoor and outdoor track), 11 have averages that exceeded the multi-year national average for their sport with another equaling it;
- The women's golf team earned the NCAA's APR Recognition Award for the second straight year.
