ROSEMONT, Ill. – The Big Ten announced on Tuesday the 28 honorees named Outstanding Sportsmanship Award winners for the 2015-16 academic year. These standouts were chosen from a group of more than 350 students honored throughout the academic year who had displayed positive sportsmanship.
One member of each varsity sports team on every campus was chosen by his or her institution as a Sportsmanship Award honoree, and two Outstanding Sportsmanship Award winners were then selected from each institution. All of the Sportsmanship Award winners have distinguished themselves through sportsmanship and ethical behavior. In addition, these honorees must be in good academic standing and must have demonstrated good citizenship outside of the sports-competition setting.
Sydney Clute was one of the two Hoosiers honored by the Big Ten Conference. Clute has excelled in the classroom and on the track this season. She is currently a graduate student after already obtaining her degree in Business Marketing. Her master's program is comprised of Tourism, Hospitality, and Event Management.
On the track, Clute's season has been historic. She won the Big Ten Indoor championship in the pole vault with a school record mark of 4.35m (14ft 3.25in). She continued her reign in the conference by winning the Big Ten Outdoor championships in record-breaking fashion. Clute cleared 4.42m (14ft 6in) to establish the new Ed Weir facility record, Big Ten Championships record, and school record.
Clute and four of her teammates will be representing Indiana in Eugene, Ore. this week at the NCAA Track and Field Championships.
