ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Indiana State Swimming & Diving alumnus Chloe Farro was voted by the Missouri Valley Conference's Council of Faculty Athletic Representatives (FARs) as a 2025 NCAA Woman of the Year conference finalist, as announced by the conference office on Thursday morning.

Farro was one of five outstanding female student-athletes nominated by conference member institutions, with the Sycamore swimmer and UNI volleyball's Kira Fallert, voted on by the league office to advance to the NCAA finals and will be voted on by the NCAA Woman of the Year selection committee.

Throughout her career, Farro earned several awards for her academic and athletic success. A three-time all-conference performer, Farro has landed a spot on the MVC Scholar-Athlete Team in all three years she was eligible. She was nominated for the National Society of Leadership and Success in 2023, being recognized for leadership potential, academic achievement and community involvement.

Farro, a two-time team captain, has participated in several volunteer opportunities, both with Indiana State University and her home country of Aruba. She was also selected as the flag bearer for Aruba at the 2024 Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony.

"Over my college career, I've significantly improved my ability to manage my time, which has made it easier to maintain a strong academic performance. By being a leader on the team, I have developed the skills needed for my future professional career. Every early morning practice, late-night study session, and leadership duty has helped me grow into a more balanced, determined, and confident version of myself."

One of the most prestigious awards sponsored by the NCAA, the Woman of the Year award was established in 1991 to celebrate the achievements of women in intercollegiate athletics. Now in its 35th year, the NCAA Woman of the Year award honors graduating female college athletes who have distinguished themselves in academics, athletics, service and leadership throughout their collegiate careers.

All Conference finalists are advanced to the Woman of the Year selection committee. The selection committee will choose the top 10 honorees in each division. From among those 30 honorees, the selection committee will select the 2025 NCAA Woman of the Year. The top 30 honorees will be honored, and the 2025 NCAA Woman of the Year winner will be announced later this fall.
