The ACC has announced its All-Academic Women’s Swimming & Diving Team for the 2015-16 season.
From the ACC website: “Minimum academic requirements for selection to the All-ACC Academic Team are a 3.0 grade point average for the previous semester and a 3.0 cumulative average during one’s academic career for undergraduate students. Athletic achievements during the most recent season are also considered in selecting the All-ACC Academic Team.”
Louisville’s Kelsi Worrell won the ACC Women’s Scholar-Athlete of the Year after her twin NCAA titles in the 100 and 200 fly, among many other athletic accomplishments this season.

I know the individual schools nominate swimmers, but from there who decides and based on what? Politics? Why are some swimmers overlooked? This seems to be an ongoing issue with the ACC’s.
