NORFOLK, Va. – Colorado State was once again recognized as one of the top academic swimming & diving programs in the nation on Tuesday, being named to the College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) 2014 Fall Scholar All-America Teams.
The CSCAA recognizes college and university teams who have achieved a grade-point average of 3.0 or higher twice per year. CSU has been recognized 10 times since 2009. The team’s combined GPA during the fall semester was 3.38, up from 3.03 last spring.
“I’m extremely proud of our girls’ work this year in the classroom,” Head Coach Christopher Woodard said. “We set a team goal of reaching a 3.3 GPA, and the girls accomplished that and then some. I love their desire to learn and excel in their chosen field of study — I’m sure they will contribute in meaningful ways to their chosen profession.”
During the 2013-14 academic year, 19 members of the swimming & diving team were recognized by the Mountain West for their academic achievements, highlighted by Melissa Bollig, who earned CSCAA Honorable Mention Scholar All-America honors. The Spring 2015 Academic All-Mountain West teams will be named in July.
In the pool, CSU posted its second-consecutive winning dual-meet season in 2014-15, and three Rams were recognized by the conference for top-eight finishes at the 2015 Mountain West Swimming & Diving Championships. Both swimmers earned NCAA B-cut times, while diver Ariana Milone set two school records.
