SAN DIEGO -- All 18 athletic programs at San Diego State exceeded the NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) standards issued by the NCAA with three teams recording a perfect multi-year APR score and eight programs earning a perfect single-year score, the NCAA released Tuesday. The 18 varsity sports (represented by 17 scores as indoor and outdoor track & field receive one score) were all at least 36 points ahead of the minimum multi-year score of 930 established by the NCAA.
The women's basketball, women's golf and women's tennis programs each recorded a perfect multi-year score of 1,000 and have been recognized by the NCAA for being in the top 10 percent of their sport nationally.
The 2022-23 APR report is inclusive of only those student-athletes who were on athletic aid and is a four-year rolling average, including the 2019-20, 2020-21, 2021-22 and 2022-23 academic years. Scholarship student-athletes each semester receive one point for remaining eligible and one point for staying in school or graduating. Teams scoring below certain thresholds can face consequences, including practice restrictions and playing-season reductions.
The eight perfect single-year scores of 1,000 for 2022-23 are one off SDSU's record of nine set during the 2020-21 campaign. Those eight sports with perfect scores for 2022-23 include men's basketball, men's golf, softball, swimming & diving, women's basketball, women's golf, women's soccer and women's tennis.
In April, 366 San Diego State student-athletes were recognized as scholar-athletes for achieving a semester GPA of 3.20 or higher or maintaining a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher. Additionally, 38 student-athletes earned Malik Award distinction for posting a 4.0 grade-point average.
