IOWA CITY, Iowa — The NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate (APR) report for 2022-2023 revealed that – for the 13th consecutive year – all of the University of Iowa’s 22 sports programs were well above the 930 threshold that signals a red flag with respect to academic progress. The highlights of results for UI’s student-athletes include:

• Women’s basketball, women’s cross country, men’s golf, women’s golf, gymnastics, swimming & diving, tennis, and volleyball all scored a perfect single year score of 1,000.

• No Hawkeye team scored below 972, and eight teams (women’s basketball, women’s cross country, field hockey, women’s golf, gymnastics, swimming and diving, women’s track and field, and volleyball) scored at or above the NCAA Division I average APR score of 984.

• The Division I single-year APR score for the UI Athletics Department was 987, which scored above the 985 needed to meet the NCAA academic unit benchmark.

Every Division I sports team across the nation calculates its APR each academic year, similar to a report card. Scholarship student-athletes each semester earn one point for remaining eligible and one point for staying in school or graduating. As tracked through the APR, more than 14,000 former college athletes have returned to school to get their degrees since the NCAA created the measurement tool. Each of those students earns back a lost APR point for their team.

Iowa football coach Kirk Ferentz has used the transfer portal to add depth at quarterback. Colorado State transfer Jackson Stratton announced he is joining the Hawkeye program with three years remaining. Last month, Northwestern quarterback Brendan Sullivan joined the Hawkeyes after starting eight games for the Wildcats. He will have two years remaining. Hawkeye starter Cade McNamara is recovering from an ACL injury.

McNamara is expected to be medically cleared this summer.

Ferentz expects McNamara to be ready to go at the start of fall camp.

Ferentz says depth at quarterback will provide some insurance.

Iowa opens next season at home on August 31st against Illinois State.

The Tri-Center Trojans girls softball team is coming off a 7-3 loss last season to Audubon in the first round of the Class 1A-Region 3 Bracket.

The Trojans are preparing for a busy week of games.

The Trojans next softball game will be Tuesday June 4th, when they will take on Missouri Valley in a Western Iowa Conference game. First pitch of that game will be at 7:30 p.m.

The director of the John Deere Classic in the Quad Cities says a change in the FedEx Cup playoff standings may help next months PGA Tournament. This season only the top 70 golfers in points qualify for the FedEx Cup playoffs. Previously the top 125 in points were included in the playoffs.

That’s tournament director Andrew Lehman(lay-mun). Jason Day committed to play in the John Deere Classic a month ago. He is currently 13th in points on the PGA Tour. Patrick Cantlay is ninth in the world rankings and committed to play in the Quad Cities last week. Lehman frequently will visit other tournaments in hopes of bolstering the JDC with big names.

Lehman says players have until Friday, June 28th to enter this year’s tournament.

Next month’s John Deere Classic is July fourth through the seventh.
