ROUNDUP: ISU has record-high APR score
Jun. 15—Indiana State athletics earned an Academic Progress Rate score of 989 in the NCAA's latest Division I APR report released today by the national office. ISU's 989 marks the department's highest one-year average since the inception of NCAA APR scoring in 2003.
ISU's score also exceeds the national average of 984. Overall, the multi-year departmental average is 987 boosted by three teams posting perfect multi-year (four year) scores in men's cross country, women's cross country, and women's golf.
Additionally, seven Sycamore teams achieved APR perfect scores of 1,000 for the 2020-21 academic year with baseball, men's and women's cross country, women's golf, women's soccer, women's track & field, and volleyball all achieving the mark.
"We are extremely proud of the academic accomplishments of our teams. Our success is attributable to the hard work of our student athletes and our phenomenal academic support staff, Brooke Young and Michelle Stodden," said Associate A.D./Compliance Joel McMullen in a press release.
"I would be remiss if I didn't praise our coaches and support staff. They recruit these young people and hold them accountable for academic success. Our Sycamores are truly student athletes. This is a big day for all of us," McMullen added.
