Mental Attitude Award

At the conclusion of the state finals, the IHSAA Executive Committee presents the Mental Attitude Award to the outstanding
senior participant in the Girls Swimming & Diving State Tournament.
The recipient of this award, who was nominated by her principal and coach, must excel in mental attitude, scholarship,
leadership and athletic ability in swimming and diving.
Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance, IHSAA corporate partner, presents a $1,000 scholarship to the school’s general scholar-
ship fund in the name of the recipient.
