BLOOMINGTON, Indiana – The Indiana University Rowing team was named the winner of the Program of Excellence Challenge for the 2015-16 academic year by the Indiana University Department of Intercollegiate Athletics.
"This award is really a testament to our student-athletes and the time and effort they put into being an energetic part of the athletic department and campus as a whole," Indiana rowing head coach Steve Peterson said. "This was something that was very important to our team and we are proud of everything that we were able to achieve in this program."
The team was recognized at a dinner with Indiana University Director of Athletics Fred Glass earlier this month.
