Mizzou Ranks Second in SEC for Academic Progress Rates
MU Teams Lead League in Four Sports, Including Football
COLUMBIA, Mo. – The NCAA
has released its annual Academic Progress Rates (APR) for member
schools, and once again, the University of Missouri stands out among
the very best. A review of the numbers for all Southeastern
Conference schools shows that Mizzou leads the league in APR rate in
four different sports, a figure which is tied for second-best in the
league.
The Mizzou football (982), men’s swimming
and diving (993), women’s swimming and diving (1,000), and gymnastics
(1,000) squads all posted SEC-best APR rates, while six other Tiger
sports finished second in the league, giving MU 10 of its 19
conference-sponsored sport programs which finished either first or
second. Additionally, 19 of MU’s 20 sports finished ahead of the
All-Division I APR average in each sport.
