Sydney Clute was named a second team Academic All-American by CoSIDA. She was one of 15 student-athletes selected on the women's side.
Clute has already graduated from Indiana University with a bachelor's degree in Business Marketing. She is currently working towards a Master's degree in Tourism, Hospitality, and Event Management.
Athletically, Sydney had a season filled with record breaking performances. She won the Big Ten Indoor Championships in the pole vault with a school record mark of 4.35m (14ft 3.25in). At the NCAA Championship meet she finished tenth, earning second team All-American honors.
She followed that performance up by winning the Outdoor Big Ten Championships in May. In three consecutive jumps she broke three prestigious records. By clearing 4.31m she broke the Nebraska Outdoor Track Facility record. Her next clearance of 4.37m captured the new Big Ten Championships record. Her final mark of 4.42m (14ft 6in) earned her the outdoor school record. Clute took fourth in the outdoor NCAA Championships, achieving first team All-American honors.
Clute becomes the 14th Academic All-American in program history and the first since Kelsie Ahbe earned first team honors in 2014.
