Gardner-Webb Women's Golf Earns NCAA Public Recognition For Ninth Year In A Row
May 12, 2020 | Women's Golf
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – The Gardner-Webb women's golf team received an NCAA Public Recognition Award for its continued hard work academically on Tuesday, part of a large announcement by the association.
The awards are given annually to teams scoring in the top-10 percent in their sports's Academic Progress Rate (APR). Gardner-Webb was one of seven Big South Conference women's golf programs recognized for their efforts.
Gardner-Webb has earned the award nine-straight seasons from the NCAA for its fine APR performance.
"The number of teams earning Public Recognition Awards — including those earning perfect scores — has increased again, demonstrating the commitment member schools and college athletes have made to high academic achievement," NCAA President Mark Emmert said. "Congratulations to these teams for their continued academic success."
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.
