The Big Ten conference named 47 IU winter athletes to the conference all-academic team Monday.
"We take a great deal of pride in the academic accomplishments of our students, and I congratulate these 47 individuals who have performed at an exceptionally high level in the classroom," IU Athletic Director Fred Glass said in a press release. "The time, commitment and sacrifice that goes into this achievement cannot be overstated, and I applaud our students for this wonderful accomplishment."
Athletes from five Hoosier teams were selected, and the IU men’s and women’s swimming teams combined for 36 of the 47 awards. Rising junior swimmer Michael Draves was the lone athlete to record a perfect 4.0.
In order to be eligible for the honor, athletes must be enrolled in the school for at least one year and post a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better.
