COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The Indiana State Swimming & Diving team has earned the CSCAA Scholar All-America Award for the fifth consecutive semester while also posting the highest Division I spring GPA (3.75) in the country, the College Swim Coaches Association of America announced Tuesday.
 
The Sycamores earned the CSCAA Scholar All-American Award for the sixth time in program history for their academic success in the spring 2019 semester. The award recognizes those programs that earned and maintained a 3.0 grade point average or higher. The CSCAA award is given twice a year following each academic semester.
 
"I'm really proud of the work they've put in. It's definitely a full-team achievement," said Head Coach Josh Christensen. "I thought it might be a stretch, but they put in the work and did it. We have a really great athletic department that is supportive of success in and out of the water."
 
In addition to receiving the award for the fifth semester in a row and top GPA in the nation, the Sycamores' GPA of 3.75 also gave them the highest GPA in the Missouri Valley Conference.
 
Overall, 21 Sycamores (87% of the roster) earned Dean's List honors by earning a GPA above a 3.5. In addition to that, six student-athletes earned a perfect 4.0 during the spring semester. The team's 3.75 was the highest team GPA on Indiana State's campus.
 
"Coach Christensen had a lot to live up to in his first year and this shows he's on the right path," CSCAA Executive Director Greg Earhart said.
