NCAA Honors Four Hartford Teams
Posted 5/25/2007
The University of Hartford had four teams honored by the NCAA as part of more than 800 Division I sports teams to receive public recognition awards for their latest Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores.
Baseball, softball, men’s indoor track, and men’s outdoor track all posted multi-year APR scores in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports. The public recognition awards are part of the broad Division I academic reform effort.
The 839 teams receiving awards this year represent 217 Division I colleges and universities, or two-thirds of the 326 institutions that compete in NCAA Division I athletics. High-performing teams receiving awards posted APR scores ranging from 975 to a perfect 1,000, said NCAA President Myles Brand.
“These teams prove once again that student-athletes are students first, and many of them are excellent students,” Brand said. “I want to personally congratulate these teams and their student-athletes who are working hard in their sport and in the classroom and setting a great example for all students.”
