Emory Athletic Overview

 

EMORY ATHLETIC FACTS

  • Emory University has a broad-based intercollegiate athletic program with approximately 350 student-athletes comprising the school's 18 varsity sports.
  • Emory University competes at the NCAA Division III level.  The distinguishing factor in comparing Division III programs to Division I & II institutions is that Division III athletics feature athletes who receive no financial aid related to their athletic skills.
  • Emory is a member of the University Athletic Association (UAA). Other institutions comprising the eight-team league include Brandeis University, Carnegie Mellon University, Case Western Reserve University, New York University, University of Chicago, University of Rochester and Washington University.
  • Emory is just one of five schools in the nation--others include Duke, Stanford, Washington University and Johns Hopkins -- to place in the top 20 in both the NACDA Directors' Cup for best all-around athletics program (6th in 2008-09) and the annual of best national universities (18th).
  • From 1987-88 through the end of the 2008-09 academic year, Emory has captured a total of 127 UAA team championships.  In 2008-09, the following teams won conference championships: men's and women's swimming, men's soccer, women's soccer, men's indoor track and women's tennis.
  • Emory was won a total of 10 Division III national championships.  Women's tennis has five national titles to its credit (1996, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006) while the men's tennis  (2003, 2006) and women's swimming and diving (2005, 2006) teams each have two.  The volleyball team brought home the school's most recent national trophy in 2008.
  • In addition, Liz Horvat was named the 2009 NCAA Division III Women's Swimmer of the Year while Michael Goodwin was named by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) as the National Senior Player of the Year.  Emory coaches were recognized nationally as well with Jenny McDowell being selected as the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Division III National Coach of the Year and Jon Howell being selected as the NCAA Division III Women's Coach of the Year.
  • Emory is just one of three schools to have finished among the top 10 Division III programs in the Director's Cup in each of the last nine years.  The Director's Cup honors institutions maintaining a broad-based athletic program, achieving success in many sports, both men's and women's.  In 2008-09, the Eagles placed sixth out of 310 schools that scored points.
  • Emory student-athletes have shined in their respective venues over the years with a total of 593 earning All-American status since the 1983-84.  During the 2008-09 school year, a total of 43 Emory athletes earned All-America acclaim.
  • Emory student-athletes have distinguished themselves on the academic front. A total of 114 student-athletes have been selected as CoSIDA Academic All-Americans since 1983-84.  Since the fall of 2000, the Eagles have earned 65 CoSIDA Academic All-America honors, trailing only Nebraska (75) and Notre Dame (73) during the stretch and tops among non-football playing institutions.
  • A further testament to the academic excellence demonstrated by Emory student athletes is the fact that the university has been awarded 64 NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships over the school's history, with the 47 awarded since 2000 the second-highest total by any NCAA member.
