Florida Men and Women Gather CSCAA Scholar All-America Honors
Wednesday, January 27, 2016 | Men's Swimming & Diving, Women's Swimming & Diving
Both teams earned above a 3.00 team GPA throughout the 2015 Fall semester
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Both the fourth-ranked men's and 11th-ranked University of Florida women's swimming and diving teams have been named to the College Swimming Coaches Association of America's (CSCAA) Scholar All-America Teams. The CSCAA announced the recognitions on Wednesday.
To be selected as a CSCAA Scholar All-America Team, programs must have achieved a grade point average of 3.00 or higher over the fall semester. The Gator women are 1-of-10 Southeastern Conference members to receive the honor while the men's team joins seven fellow SEC members on the list.
CSCAA Executive Director Joel Shinofield was effusive in his praise, "We really are fortunate to work with the best of the best. In reality, some would argue that swimmers and divers have some of the most demanding practice schedules, but we find that in most cases their athletic drive and academic goals simply reinforce one another."
"College swimming is a complete preparation for life, where our athletes see the results of goal-setting, perseverance and personal accountability," said USA Swimming National Team Director Frank Busch. "These values that make swimmers successful in the pool are also what make them stand out in the classroom and become high achievers in their careers after college."
Founded in 1922, the College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) – the oldest organization of college coaches in America -is a professional organization of college swimming and diving coaches dedicated to serving and providing leadership for the advancement of the sport of swimming & diving at the collegiate level.
