Data: EADA sport-level file and institution-level unduplicated participant counts, 2024-25. Athletes appearing on more than one roster are counted more than once in the sport file. Track and swimming figures allocate all such duplication to those two categories, which makes them estimated floors rather than corrected counts. Counts include walk-ons.
