"Our student-athletes continually strive to set the standard in military performance, academics and conduct," said Naval Academy Director of Athletics Chet Gladchuk. "The support and encouragement they receive through the Commandant and her staff and the academic dean's office is extraordinary and provides tremendous motivation to be successful across the board. We are all proud to be leaders on the field of competition, but even more so when we can prove to be leaders in the classroom as well, clearly defining the meaning of a midshipman who is truly a scholar-athlete."

The APR awards two points each term to student-athletes who meet academic-eligibility standards and who remain with the institution. A team's APR is the total points earned by the team at a given time divided by the total points possible.

CORRECTION: A story in yesterday's Capital on the NCAA's Academic Progress Report said 12 Navy teams scored above the national average. In fact, all 23 of Navy's teams scored above average and the 12 teams noted were honored by the NCAA for scoring in the top 10 percent. The Capital regrets the error.
