CLEVELAND– Fresh off winning the program's first-ever men's swimming & diving national title, the University of Indianapolis climbed to No. 6 in the latest LEARFIELD Directors' Cup Division II standings, released Thursday. The Greyhounds springboarded 91 spots from the final fall standings, jumping from 97th all the way into the top 10.
 
The Directors' Cup honors institutions maintaining a broad-based athletics program, achieving success in many sports, both men's and women's, with points awarded based on each institution's finish at NCAA Championships. UIndy is one of only three Division II institutions in the country that can claim an active streak of 14 consecutive top-20 finishes in the final Cup standings.
 
Adding to the 25 points apiece earned by the football and men's soccer teams in the fall, UIndy piled on 341.5 points in the winter – its second-highest ever combined point total from the winter sports. In addition to the 100 points earned by men's swimming & diving, the Greyhound women's swimming & diving team notched its second straight runner-up finish at the NCAA DII Championships while wrestling placed seventh, women's indoor track & field finished 19th at Nationals, and men's basketball earned hosting rights for the NCAA DII Midwest Regional.
