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.

Luck having fun with his first OTAs
A year ago, quarterback Andrew Luck was unable to attend the Indianapolis Colts’ organized team activity practices due to school commitments at Stanford.
Luck, though, went on to have a stellar year for the Colts despite the lack of summer work with the team. Still, in a sense, he is a rookie during this year’s OTA workouts.
“These are my first OTAs. I missed these last year, so I think it’s great. It’s great to get on the field with the defense and trouble-shoot some stuff. Obviously, some of us ran some of this stuff [offense] at Stanford [under new offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton]. But to get out there with the defense and trouble-shoot some stuff is good,” Luck said Wednesday as the team wrapped up its first week of on-field voluntary practice sessions. -
