MOSCOW, Idaho- On Tuesday, the College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) released the latest edition of its Scholar All-America teams, highlighting the Division I, II, III, and NAIA Swim and Dive programs who excel both in the water and in the classroom.
For the ninth-consecutive semester, Idaho Swim and Dive received a nomination from the CSCAA to the DI rendition of the prestigious list. For a team to be eligible, they must record an average GPA of 3.0 or higher, and the Vandals earned a 3.63 as a program, sporting 22 4.0 GPAs and 40 total athletes with at least a 3.0.
The Vandals achieved this feat while earning a higher team GPA AND having more student athletes on the roster than schools like Arizona, Georgia, Iowa, Michigan, Missouri, and more.
The Brave and Bold athletes who earned a 4.0 are Parker Bach, Isabelle Borke, Maddy Butler, Natalie Charles, Cadence Gabel, Kaitlyn Hafer, Lauren Howe, Catherine Hyde, Italia Ingle, Abigail Jerome, Avery Keinonen, Ginger Kiefer, McKenzie Kovalscik, Ena Lehmann, Marie Mason, Keegan Near, Grace Ruble, Maya Salvitti, Sadie Schaffer, Gabriella Stanton, Andie Wieber, and Lauren Wierschke.
The full list of Women's DI Scholar All-America Teams can be found below, and the full list can be found HERE.
