The NCAA released its Academic Progress Rate report Tuesday and 11 Bowling Green State University sports posted a perfect 1,000 single-year rate for the 2011-12 academic year.
All of the Falcons' 18 sports have multi-year APR rates of 940 or above and 11 teams posted their best multi-year score since the APR began in 2004-05. All 18 of BGSU's teams were comfortably above the NCAA's minimum score of 900 to receive scholarship limitations or postseason bans.
The women's tennis, women's golf and swimming programs at Bowling Green have the highest APR scores in the Mid-American Conference for their respective sports.
"The data released today continues to represent the hard work of our student-athletes in the classroom," Mark Shook, BGSU's interim athletics director, said. "These results annually represent the total team effort involved in supporting our student-athletes who are committed to their academic pursuits to our coaches who recruit them with that expectation to our support staffs who help them balance both their academic and athletic pursuits."
