Holy Cross Athletic Teams Post Perfect Score on NCAA Progress Report

Twenty College of the Holy Cross varsity teams achieved a perfect score of 1,000 in the recently released NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate (APR), which measures academic performance among Division I programs.

Nine of those Crusader teams had a perfect multi-year APR score (based on data from the 2010-2011 through 2013-2014 school years), which tied the College for 16th in the nation out of 357 Division I schools.

“We take great pride in our student-athletes’ achievements in the classroom,” said Nathan Pine, director of athletics. “Our young men and women put exceptional effort into their academic endeavors and I am thrilled to see them recognized for their success.”

The APR uses a series of formulas related to student-athlete retention and eligibility to measure the academic performance of all participants on teams at every Division I college and university.
