Â
The College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association (CSCAA) has named the Loyola Marymount University women's swimming team to its Scholar All-America team for the Spring 2019 Semester. A record 480 institutions were named to the list, highlighted by Loyola Marymount women's GPA of 3.65.
Â
CSCAA Executive Director Greg Earhart noted: "Coach Adair continues to provide a model of consistency as one of our nation's top academic teams."
Â
A record number of teams achieved Scholar All-America status in each NCAA Division with men's teams seeing the biggest gains. The increase can be attributed to the growing number of men's teams. "For three years now, we've seen schools add more men's teams than women's," explained Earhart, "and now we're seeing those new teams produce the caliber of student-athlete we've come to expect in swimming and diving."
Â
At 3.45, the median GPA among women's teams was the highest on record. The men's median (3.23) was down slightly from the Fall semester.
