The Texas Southern men's golf team received an Academic Progress Rate (APR) Public Recognition Award from the NCAA after posting a perfect APR score during the latest APR cycle.The team posted a perfect 1,000 multi-year APR score for the first time in program history as head coach Willie Shankle has now posted the top two APR totals in program history under his watch.
Overall, the department had three teams (men's golf, women's golf, bowling) surpass the 990 mark in its multi-year APR rate and five teams (men's golf, women's basketball, bowling, women's golf, volleyball) achieved a perfect 1,000 score for its 2023-24 APR.
Three teams (volleyball, soccer, softball) narrowly missed the 990 multi-year mark as they posted scores of 989, 986 and 984, respectively.
The APR measures eligibility, graduation, and retention each semester or academic term and provides a clear picture of the academic performance for each team in every sport. All teams must meet an academic threshold of 930 to qualify for the postseason and can face penalties for continued low academic performance.
"I'm proud of the continued academic success of our student-athletes," said Vice President of Intercollegiate Athletics Dr. Kevin Granger. "These scores reflect the hard work they've put in the classroom and their commitment as a student-athlete in general. I also want to recognize our Academic Staff for the hard work they've put in working with the student-athletes daily as they play a major role behind the scenes in the success of our department."
