TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Indiana State swimming and diving has earned CSCAA Division I Scholar Team honors.

The CSCAA awards teams across the nation who stand out academically by earning and maintaining a 3.0 grade point average or higher.

This fall the Sycamores held a team grade point average of 3.54 which was well above the standard needed.

ISU's academic success and high grade point average has placed them in the top 30 in the nation as well as third in the Missouri Valley Conference according to the CSCAA.

"This program is really excelling not only in the pool, but in the classroom. The Sycamores are laying a great foundation for future swimmers and divers to achieve greatness in academia. It has been amazing working with these young women as they progress and show the nation their drive to succeed in the classroom and in the pool. We look to continue to be one of the top academic programs on campus, in the state and on a national scale," said head coach Matt Leach.

Indiana State is now preparing to compete in the MVC Championship meet on Feb. 14 through Feb. 17.
