The College Sports Communicators (CSC) have announced their Academic All-American Teams for men’s and women’s college swimming. The Academic All-American Teams include all 3 NCAA divisions, as well as the NAIA.
To qualify for the team, student athletes must maintain a 3.50 GPA and be among the elite in their respective sport as well. Communications directors name student-athletes to the All-District Teams, then, CSC members vote on the All-American Teams. Once the All-American Teams have been named for every sport, the CSC members will also vote to name a singular overall Academic All-America of the Year recipient for each NCAA division and the NAIA.
The CSC also names a Member of the Year for each division, highlighting standouts in the pool and the classroom for DI, DII, DII, and NAIA. The men’s Member of Year honorees were Arizona State’s Jonny Kulow for DI, Florida Southern’s Kyle Micallef for DII, Kenyon’s Noah Hargrove for DIII, and Lindsey Wilson’s Fabio Martin Rojo for NAIA.
