Women’s Golf Posts 14th Consecutive Perfect Score
INDIANAPOLIS – Ole Miss Athletics set a new department record for Graduation Success Rate in 2022, recording an overall score of 88, according to the NCAA's report released this afternoon. Ole Miss' new record beats out their previous record of 87 set in 2021.
"This year's GSR is a reflection of the continued dedication and hard work of both the Ole Miss student-athletes as well as the FedEx Academic Center support staff," said Senior Associate Athletics Director for Student-Athlete Development Dr. Bob Baker.
Four Rebel teams posted a perfect 100 percent GSR in the report released on Tuesday: men's golf, women's golf, men's tennis, and women's tennis. This is the 14th consecutive year that women's golf has posted a perfect GSR. It is also the fifth consecutive year for women's tennis and fourth in a row for both men's golf and men's tennis.
Since 2004, Ole Miss has seen its GSR rise exponentially from 69 percent to the current 88 percent. This includes a recent and rapid rise from 75 percent to 88 percent over the last 10 years.
Across the NCAA, Division I student-athletes continue to graduate at high rates. The overall single-year rate held steady at 90%, which continues to be the highest rate recorded. Figures released Tuesday reflect graduation numbers among student-athletes who entered college in 2015. The NCAA has tracked GSR for more than two decades, and student-athletes have long surpassed the original benchmark goal of 80%. Since the GSR's inception, the overall student-athlete rate has soared from 74% to a two-year consistent rate of 90%.
