Women's Golf Honored For Academic Success
05/01/19 | General, Women's Golf
The UO women's golf team on Wednesday received the NCAA's Public Recognition Award for having an APR score in the top 10 percent nationally within its sport.
The Oregon women's golf team on Wednesday received the NCAA's Public Recognition Award, which is bestowed upon teams in the top 10 percent of their sports academically as calculated by the Academic Progress Rate.
This is the fourth year in a row UO women's golf has received a Public Recognition Award, and the 11th time in the award's 14-year history.
The UO women's golf team has excelled on the course in that span as well. On Monday, the Ducks will begin play in the Cle Elum Regional, their 12th consecutive NCAA Regional appearance and first under head coach Derek Radley.
The UO women's golf team has a perfect multi-year APR score of 1,000, a rolling four-year average that was most recently calculated through the 2017-18 academic year. Full institutional APR reports with data through 2017-18 will be released next Wednesday, May 8.
The Academic Progress Rate measures eligibility, graduation and retention each semester or academic term and provides a clear picture of the ongoing academic performance for each team in every sport.
The Public Recognition Award isn't the first honor this spring for UO women's golf in the classroom. On April 12, senior Petra Salko was named the Pac-12 women's golf Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Salko has a 4.05 grade-point average in business administration, and was a third-team academic all-American as a junior.
