I am elated for our ladies and our program to have established this tremendous legacy of excellence,\u201d said Hasselbach Adams.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur ladies take their academics very seriously and our diving staff fully supports their efforts. I would especially like to thank our academic advisor, Ginty Porter, and the entire staff at Vickery Hall for supporting and encouraging our student-athletes throughout their academic careers. It takes a team effort to establish a high APR and I am thankful to all of our diving alumni for laying the foundation and leaving their legacy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Clemson was one of 29 women\u2019s swimming and diving programs honored on Wednesday, and one of just three Atlantic Coast Conference programs, joining Miami and Notre Dame among the elite.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>The Academic Progress Rate is a metric developed to track the academic achievement of teams each academic term. Each student-athlete receiving athletically related financial aid earns one retention point for staying in school and one eligibility point for being academically eligible. A team&#8217;s total points are divided by points possible and then multiplied by one thousand to equal the team&#8217;s Academic Progress Rate score.<\/p>\n<div class=\"Back_Article_Link\"><a class=\"purple\" title=\"Back\" href=\"http:\/\/www.clemsontigers.com\/SportSelect.dbml?ATCLID=210099295&amp;DB_LANG=C&amp;DB_OEM_ID=28500&amp;SPID=110900&amp;SPSID=671138\">More from Clemson Diving<\/a><\/div>\n<hr class=\"orange\" \/>\n<div class=\"cubeAdRightColumn\">\n<p>advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Click below for the full article<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.clemsontigers.com\/\/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=28500&#038;ATCLID=210099295\" target=\"_blank\">Clemson Diving Recognized for Top 10 Percent APR Score<\/a><br \/>\nSource: Clemson Football<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CLEMSON, S.C. \u2013 The Clemson diving program was honored by the NCAA on Wednesday when it released its Academic Performance Public Recognition Awards.
