4. The athlete must be a varsity participant in a minimum of 50% of the contests in an IHSAA
sponsored girls' sports program.
5. A transcript must be provided with this application. Verification of SAT/ACT scores,
Class rank, and cumulative GPA MUST be included with transcript.
6. A nomination must be signed by both coach and principal.
7. The coach must be a current member of the ICGSA in order to nominate. Membership must
be received by the membership chairperson no later than the Academic All State deadline for
your sport. Membership may be completed online at www.icgsa.org. Any head varsity coach
may nominate an athlete from his/her own team.
Completed applications and transcripts must be received by the Academic All State
Chairperson by midnight of your sectional tournament entry date to be eligible for
Academic All State or Honorable Mention consideration. Incomplete nominations or
nominations received after the deadline will not be considered for these honors. Coaches who are
not members by the deadline date for their sport will not have their athlete's nomination
considered. Mail your nominations early, so they arrive before the deadline. The
Academic Chairperson will acknowledge receipt of your nomination via email. If
you have not received acknowledgement by NOON on the day before your deadline,
you should contact her immediately.

cross country, golf, gymnastics, and tennis that number will be 15. Any student-athlete who has an index equal to or
above 0.9, but is not in the top 25/15 lists also will be named Academic All State. All other nominations who have
met the criteria will be Honorable Mention. The student-athlete's index does not have to be above 0.9 to be selected.
This simply accommodates the sports with more participants without penalizing those sports with lower
participation numbers.
