CSCAA web site with complete academic awards

The Macalester men's and women's swimming & diving teams have once again earned All-Academic team honors by the College Swim Coaches Association of America (CSCAA), and the Macalester men's team earned the nation's No. 1 GPA for any team in any division of either gender. In order to be named on the SPEEDO All-Academic list, teams must have had a combined team grade point average of 3.0 or better during the Spring 2009 term.

While the Macalester men were first in the Division III ranks (and all ranks) with a 3.65 GPA during the '09 Spring semester. Macalester's women's team combined to post a 3.43 GPA – 23rd best nationally among Division III teams. The men edged out Ohio Wesleyan and Washington University in St. Louis for top Division III team honors.

The CSCAA produces the All-Academic list twice each year. The spring list also recognized indivdual All-Academic team honorees who are selected on the basis of their performance in the pool and the classroom.

The Macalester women had a pair of individual academic winners. Annie Flanagan (Sr., Madison, Wis. / East) earned Individual Scholar All-America honors, while teammate Karoline Hart (Fy., Rexford, N.Y. / Niskayuna) is an honorable mention selection.
