Important Fall Updates from the Athletics Communications Team at the NAIA

This summer, NAC approved mandating the reporting of tennis stats. This will be done using the new Presto Tennis product. We used this product at the tennis national championships in the Spring and while there are still some developments that will occur, this product as of today is now good to go and will be required to be entered within 24 hours of a contest.

Another major change in result reporting will be with cross country this year. With the NAIA SIDHelp site going away this year, you will no longer need to enter results from other sports outside of cross country. Presto is developing a spot to enter various race data on the event pages so that national Top 25 raters can gather this information in one place. Other than that, there will no longer be a need to enter other results not covered under statistical policy. Meet results must be entered within 24 hours of event conclusion.

Fall scholar-athletes will be due in NAIA Connect (Login here) on Monday, September 30. For a quick reference on nomination criteria, CLICK HERE.

Men’s and women’s National Tennis Players of the Week will be released on Tuesdays and men’s and women’s golf ratings will be released on Thursdays.

Here's to a successful and memorable fall athletic season!
