PHILADELPHIA - The University of Dayton Division of Athletics continued its long tradition of success in the classroom by placing 99 student-athletes on the Atlantic 10 Commissioner's Honor Roll for the Spring 2008 semester as released on Wednesday.

Each student-athlete that was honored recorded a 3.5 grade-point average or higher during the Spring 2008 semester. Dayton was fourth among the 14 Atlantic 10 Conference institutions in number of student-athletes recognized despite sponsoring less sports than each of the three schools with more honorees.

UD Athletics has traditionally been one of top academic performers in the nation and that was backed by the NCAA with the release of the latest Academic Progress Rate (APR) reports in early May. Four different Flyer athletics programs had a perfect APR of 1000. UD men's cross country, men's golf, men's tennis and women's golf (which competes in the Colonial Athletic Association) were recently honored with Public Recognition Awards by the NCAA for their continued achievement in the multi-year APR which included data for the 2003-2004 through 2006-2007 academic years.

Three other Dayton teams ranked among the top three performing programs in their respective conferences. Flyer men's basketball was also awarded a public recognition award on April 24 after posting an APR of 974 that ranked third in the Atlantic 10 Conference. UD football was second in the Pioneer Football League with a score of 977 while softball was third in the A-10 with an APR of 985.
