Where good news shines

Colorado State’s athletics teams flourished in their latest Academic Progress Reports, the school said.

CSU showed four programs with perfect multi-year scores and 10 showing perfect scores for the 2024-25 season, the school said Tuesday.

APR provides “more of a real-time measurement of academic success than graduation rates offer and is a team-based metric in which scholarship student-athletes earn one point each term for remaining eligible and one point for staying in school or graduating,” the school said.

CSU women’s basketball had its second year with a perfect multi-year report, while swimming and diving’s streak goes back to 2021-22. Tennis’ began in 2020-21. Men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s track, softball and volleyball had perfect scores for the year, the school said.
