COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – USA Swimming National Team members Katie Ledecky (Bethesda, Md./Nation’s Capital Swim Club), Claire Adams (Carmel, Ind./Carmel Swim Club) and Maxime Rooney (Livermore, Calif./ Pleasanton Seahawks) headline a list of over 1,900 prep swimmers honored by USA Swimming this week as 2014-15 Scholastic All-America selections.

After earning 4.0 grade point averages and national championship victories during the 2014-15 season, Ledecky, Adams and Rooney received the only perfect scores among the 1,925 swimmers honored this year. With her selection, Ledecky becomes a three-time SAA team member. She won five gold medals at the 2015 FINA World Championships last month in Kazan, Russia.

The Southern Zone led the way with 585 Scholastic All-America selections. North Carolina Swimming topped the LSC rankings with 119 honorees, while Nation’s Capital Swim Club-PV was the top club with 42 swimmers recognized.
