Sophomore diver Kayla Luarde was named the IU Scholar-Athlete of the Month for April.
“Diving requires participants to excel both physically and mentally in order to achieve success,†said Allen Kohn, IU’s assistant director of academic services. “Kayla continues to impress the Indiana University community with her diving and academic performance. Meeting the demands of a challenging pre-professional curriculum does not come easy, but requires motivation, commitment, and a powerful resolution to succeed. Kayla continues to impress with stellar grades, all the while maintaining an affable personality and joyous spirit.â€
Luarde finished 36th in the 3-Meter Dive with a score of 225.00 points and placed 41st in the 1-Meter Dive with 215.15 points at the 2020 Big Ten Championships in Iowa City in late February.
