BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Rising senior, Olympic silver medalist, and two-time defending NCAA champion Andrew Capobianco has been selected to the CoSIDA Academic All-America® men's at-large team, the publication announced on Friday afternoon.
The at-large teams for the Google Cloud Academic All-America program include the sports of fencing, golf, gymnastics, ice hockey, lacrosse, rifle, skiing, swimming & diving, tennis and water polo for both men and women, as well as beach volleyball, bowling, field hockey and rowing for women, and volleyball and wrestling for men.
Capobianco, an exercise science major, was selected to the second team after earning third-team honors in 2019, his last season of competition before sitting out the 2020 season as an Olympic redshirt.
The Holly Springs, N.C., native enjoyed a banner season in 2021. He was named co-Big Ten Diver of the Championships after winning the 1-Meter Springboard crown, finishing fourth overall in the 3-Meter Springboard, and ninth off the 10-Meter Platform at the Big Ten Championships.
He was then named Big Ten Diver of the Year for the second time in his career (2019) after winning the 3-Meter Springboard competition at the NCAA Championships. He also scored points for Indiana with a fourth-place finish on the 1-Meter Springboard and took 11th on the 10-Meter Platform.
His collegiate accomplishments, plus his international successes, earned him co-IU Male Athlete of the Year prior to the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020. In Tokyo, Capobianco paired up with former Indiana teammate Mike Hixon to win silver in the 3-Meter Synchro competition. He also claimed 10th overall in the individual 3-Meter Springboard event.
Among the 47 student-athletes selected to the Academic All-America® Division I At-Large teams, 21 carry a 4.0 grade-point average. The 15 members of the men's at-large team carry a 3.912 average GPA.
