To earn one of these coveted honors, teams had to rank in the top 10% of their sport nationally in the Academic Progress Rate (APR), which measures a program's success at both graduating athletes and keeping them on a steady path to graduation. Tribe men's basketball, men's golf, men's tennis, women's golf, women's swimming and field hockey were all honored.
