TERRE HAUTE —
Indiana State’s women’s cross country team received the NCAA Public Recognition Award for the second straight year and is joined this year by the Sycamore men’s cross country team in earning the award presented to teams with Academic Progress Rates (APR) in the top 10 percent of each sport.
The 954 teams publicly recognized for high achievement this year represent 560 women’s teams and 394 men’s or mixed squads.
“These teams prove that it is possible to not only balance academic and athletic commitment, as most student-athletes do, but to exceed standards and post outstanding academic scores,” said NCAA President Mark Emmert.

Colts hoping for more high marks on draft picks
A year ago, the Indianapolis Colts received high marks for the impact players the team added through the NFL draft.
Of the 10 players selected, five ended up either starting or seeing extensive playing time (quarterback Andrew Luck, tight ends Coby Fleener and Dwayne Allen, wide receiver T.Y. Hilton and running back Vick Ballard) during the Colts’ 11-5 season.
While this year’s class may not rival that group in terms of name recognition and flash, it may produce just as many major contributors once the 2013 season gets underway. - Colts in wait-and-see mode for tonight’s NFL draft
