ANNAPOLIS, Md. – Fourteen of Navy's varsity sports programs were recognized for their outstanding NCAA Academic Progress Rate released today.  Only NCAA sponsored sports were eligible.

Every Division I program across the nation calculates its APR (academic progress rate) each academic year, which is similar to a report card. Recruited student-athletes each semester earn one point for remaining eligible and one point for staying in school or graduating. The most recent APR scores are multi-year rates based on the scores from the 2019-20, 2020-21, 2021-22 and 2022-23 academic years. National aggregates are based on all teams with usable data at the time of analysis.

Men's gymnastics, water polo, women's golf and women's rowing all received perfect scores.

Sports that were at least 10 points above the national average in their respective sport were: Men's basketball (21 points), water polo (18 points), men's indoor and outdoor track & field (15 points), baseball (13 points), men's soccer (13 points), men's swimming & diving (12 points), wrestling (12 points), women's rowing (11 points), women's volleyball (11 points), men's cross country (10 points) and men's lacrosse (10 points).
