RICHMOND, Va. – The Illinois State swimming and diving team was recognized among the country's best academic programs this week, as the College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) included the Redbirds on its Scholar All-America list for the Spring 2021 semester.
"As a program, we take pride in consistently being ranked and recognized nationally among top Division I women's programs academically," head coach Caitlin Hamilton shared. "Our athletes have high academic goals and are great representatives for academic excellence within our sport and university. I'm proud of how each have handled the adversity over the last year and excited to see what's in their futures."
