Feel The Rush!
Athletics and sports are a big part of campus life at Indiana State. The university participates in intercollegiate athletics as a NCAA Division I institution and as a member of the Missouri Valley Conference. The university also offers extensive recreational and club sport opportunities for our students. Sycamore spirit is alive and well and support for our athletic programs and academic support services for student athletes has been recognized far and wide. Our coaches and players stress learning first and a team approach to all things. Check out information about Sycamore Athletics at GoSycamores.com.
Our athletes are encouraged to be leaders on and off the field. That is apparent by their recent successes:
- Indiana State student-athletes captured the inaugural Missouri Valley Conference Academic Excellence Award for having the highest GPA among conference schools.
- In the past year, eight ISU athletic teams ranked nationally due to their academic successes.
- Kylie Huston, in her junior season in 2009, won the NCAA Division I National Championship in both the indoor and outdoor pole vault competition.
In 2009, Indiana State University's intercollegiate athletics program was been granted recertification for a full 10 years by the NCAA Division I Committee on Athletics Certification. Similar to accreditation of academic programs, certification is intended to ensure integrity in a college or university’s athletics program and to assist institutions in improving their athletics departments.
