Indianapolis, IN - Coach Mike Hinojos and the Cal State Fullerton fencing team have received the NCAA Public Recognition Award for the squad's recent performance in the Div. I Academic Progress Rate (APR) calculations.

The award is presented to those teams that have an APR rate in the top 10 percent of all squads in the nation in their respective sport. APR measures roster retention and academic progress of all sports. Teams that perform below standards are subject to the loss of scholarships.

Hinojos, a CSF graduate, is beginning his second year as head coach after a long stint as an assistant to retired Coach Heizaburo Okawa.
