Seven Duck Teams Produce Perfect Scores In 2021-22 APR Data

EUGENE, Ore. – Seven University of Oregon athletic programs scored a perfect 1,000 in the NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) for the 2021-22 academic year. The seven programs producing the 1,000 single-year APR include men’s basketball, women’s basketball, women’s cross country, women’s golf, men’s tennis, women’s tennis, and soccer.

The men’s tennis program led by Nils Schyllander posted a 1,000 single-year APR for the seventh consecutive year, while the Oregon women’s golf program led by head coach Derek Radley recorded a 1,000 single-year APR for the fifth year in a row.

We are also tremendously appreciative of the academic staff at the Jaqua Center. We look forward to seeing Oregon student-athletes continue to thrive in all their endeavors.”
