Dean Farris, Ella Eastin Among 50 Division I Academic All-District Honorees

25 Division I swimmers and divers were among the 83 male student-athletes selected to the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-District At-Large Team. 25 women’s swimmers and divers were selected amongst 86 total honorees.

The 25 men’s swimmers and divers marked the highest number of selections for any at-large sport in 2019, followed by tennis (18), ice hockey (9) and golf (9).

The 25 women’s swimmers and divers marked the largest group of selections for any at-large sport, followed by tennis (15), golf (12) and rowing (8), lacrosse (8) and gymnastics (8).

At-Large Teams are selected from 16 sports. Men’s soccer, women’s soccer, football, volleyball, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, softball, baseball and men’s and women’s track and field/cross country have their own Academic All-District and All-America teams selected per sport.

Student-athletes must have a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.30 and be a starter or contributor (participating in at least 50 percent of team’s contests) to be considered for Academic All-District and All-American accolades. Student-athletes must have completed one calendar year at his/her institution and be at least at sophomore eligibility-wise.

All-District honorees, which are selected from eight geographic regions across the country for Division I, are eligible for Academic All-America honors, which will be announced in June. The awards recognize the top student-athletes nationally for their combined performances on the field of play and in the classroom.

Headlining the group of Division I men’s swimming and diving selections are Harvard’s Dean Farris, who won NCAA titles in the 200 back and the 100 free while setting the NCAA, American and U.S. Open Records in the 200 free as part of Harvard’s 800 free relay and NC State’s Andreas Vazaios, the NCAA champion in the 200 fly and 200 IM runnerup.

Other standouts among the men’s honorees are: Kentucky’s Bowen Anderson, Tennessee’s Joey Reilman, Alabama’s Laurent Bams, Arizona State’s Grant House and Harvard’s Brennan Novak.

On the women’s side, Stanford’s Ella Eastin, who earned NCAA titles in the 400 IM and the 800 freestyle and was runnerup in the 200 IM and 200 fly, is atop the list.

Kentucky’s Asia Seidt, who three-peated as the SEC 200 back champion and was the NCAA runnerup in the event, and was previously tabbed for the 2019 Women’s DI Elite 90 award and Arthur Ashe Female Sports Scholar of the Year also was among the Division I female honorees.

Other standout women’s honorees are: Missouri’s Kylie Dahlgren and Annie Ochitwa, Minnesota’s Chantal Nnack and Liberty’s Alicia Finnigan.
