SEATTLE (AP) — Washington's recent graduation success rate among athletes is second-best in the West for a public university.
The NCAA released figures this week showing the Huskies graduated 84 percent of their athletes for a six-year period ending with the entering class of 2002-03. That is 5 percent higher than the national average in that span, and second in the Pac-10 to Stanford's 94 percent.
The University of California at Davis was the only public institution on the West Coast with a higher rate for athletes, at 87 percent.
The football program had a 69 percent graduation success rate.
The women's basketball team, under then-coach June Daugherty, was the only Huskies' squad to have a 100 percent graduation success rate.
