TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Indiana State women's swimming and diving's Grace Cummings was named this week's Hannig Construction Indiana State Student-Athlete of the Week as announced by the athletic department on Monday afternoon.
 
Grace Cummings continues to set new marks in the Indiana State swimming and diving annals as the freshman became the first Sycamore in program history to win an event at the Tim Welsh Classic hosted this past weekend by Notre Dame. Cummings claimed both the 500-yard and 1000-yard Freestyle event wins on the meet. She added a third-place result in the 200-yard Freestyle to highlight the most points Indiana State has scored at the Tim Welsh Classic (644.5) in program history.
 
Cummings topped the field in the 500-yard Freestyle on Friday morning as the freshman touched the wall in 4:47.90 to win the event over Notre Dame's Emily Hamill (4:48.51). Cummings followed up by taking nearly two seconds off her seed time in the 200-yard Freestyle as she went 1:50.34 to tie for third in the event. She finished her individual events with the 1000-yard Freestyle where she was just .6 off the MVC record set by Claire Parsons last season, touching the wall in 9:46.97 to win the event by nearly 16 seconds.
 
Cummings highlighted her relay appearances helping Indiana State finish third in the 800-yard Freestyle Relay with her leg of 1:50.90 helping pace the Sycamores to a 7:22.60, third all-time on the Indiana State All-Time Performance List.
 
The Hannig Construction Indiana State Student-Athlete of the Week will be announced every week throughout the 2025-26 athletic season.
