PHILADELPHIA - Atlantic 10 commissioner Linda Bruno announced Tuesday the Commissioner's Honor Roll for the Spring 2007 semester, honoring each student-athlete in the A-10 with a 3.5 grade point average or better. Among the honorees were 78 student-athletes from the University of Dayton.

UD ranked seventh among 14 Atlantic 10 institutions in number of student-athletes on the Spring 2007 Commissioner's Honor Roll despite sponsoring less sports than all of the six schools with more honorees. Overall 1,118 Atlantic 10 student-athletes were recognized.

"It is an honor to recognize these student-athletes who truly exemplify what the college experience is all about," said Bruno. "Their commitment to excellence on and off the playing field is inspiring and should serve as an example to all."

Traditionally, the University of Dayton's graduation rates have been at the top of the charts, and the latest Academic Progress Report (APR) data released May 2 by the NCAA confirmed that, and more. Four Flyer sports had a second straight year with a perfect APR, and seven other sports improved their APR from a year ago.

Men's cross country, men's golf, men's tennis, and women's golf all had perfect APR "scores" of 1000. In addition, women's rowing, which was not rated last year because it did not have enough graduates compared to squad size to give accurate data to analyze, also had a 1000 APR.

Flyer teams that improved their already strong ratings were baseball, football, women's basketball, women's cross country, women's soccer, women's tennis, and women's track. Of the remaining teams, men's basketball repeated as one of six UD teams in the top 10 percent of their respective sport's APR.
