2022-23 Academic All-America Teams Announced for Men’s, Women’s Swimming and Diving

by Riley Overend 11

April 02nd, 2023 College, News

The College Sports Communicators (formerly CoSIDA) released their list of 2022-23 Academic All-Americans for men’s and women’s swimming and diving.

At the Division I level, Indiana fifth year Andrew Capobianco and Virginia senior Lexi Cuomo earned Team Member of the Year honors for their accomplishments in the classroom. Capobianco, an Olympic diver, capped off his collegiate career with his third 3-meter NCAA title last month. He also maintained a 3.58 cumulative grade-point average (GPA) as an exercise science major. Cuomo ended her career on a high note last month by scoring 15 individual points and contributing to two title-winning relays as the Cavaliers cruised to their third national championship in a row. Back in Charlottesville, she boasted a GPA of 3.98 as a civil engineering major.

Five women and three men earned repeat selections to the Division I Academic All-America team. Until this year, swimming and diving had been a part of the at-large All-America team. Kaitlyn Dobler (USC), Kara Holt (Tennessee), Maggie MacNeil (LSU), Felicia Pasadyn (Harvard), and Delaney Schnell (Arizona) appeared on the list again for the women while Jake Foster (Texas), Derek Maas (Alabama), and Leon MacAlister (Stanford) earned repeat selections on the men’s side. The Division I women’s first team just barely edged the men in terms of average GPA, 3.88 vs. 3.87.

For Division II, Florida Southern College senior Matteo Zampese and Indiana University of Pennsylvania graduate student Paige Mikesell were named Team Members of the Years. Johns Hopkins junior Kellen Roddy and Emory senior Taylor Leone received Team Member of the Year honors for Division III while Keiser senior Alberto Garcia Marcos and University of Cumberlands junior Hanne te Velthuis highlighted the NAIA honors.

The full list of Academic All-Americans, including video features for each Team Member of the Year hosted by ESPN reporter Holly Rowe, can be seen below.

Tbh, Jake foster with a 3.99 in a stem field at a top Public school in the country on a pre-med track is most impressive.

Polonsky with a 4.0 a close second given the rigor of Stanford (he’s a sophomore so hasn’t taken as many hard classes as upperclassman though)

So how is this determined? It would appear to be some sort of subjective process given Maggie MacNeil has a higher GPS than some of the first team selections and obviously a much better swimming resume.

Athletes are nominated by their schools to the All-District Team. Then the CSC members vote for the Academic All-America team factoring in both academic and athletic accomplishments. So yes, it is subjective.

Most relevant Swimswam article about NCAA swimming all year. If you swim in college you are a student first and foremost. I picked out some crazy and impressive degrees….wow

How did Capobianco get team member of the year with a 3.58??? Also have to consider that he’s in his 6th year of his UNDERGRAD degree (took olympic redshirt year and covid year). I acknowledge that being a student athlete is difficult and maintaining a high gpa while competing at a high level is very impressive, but was there not a better candidate for male team member of the year?

Capobianco is simply superb in this interview – honest, informative, and cognizant of the real limits and high goals which elite athletes, esp. divers, have to address. Bravo!

3.98 GPA in civil engineering as one of the fastest swimmers in the country is one of the most insane things I’ve ever seen
