NP Swimmers earn Scholar All-American Honors
The College Swimming Coaches Association has released its annual Scholar All-American awards, and I am proud to announce that 4 of our women have received Scholar All-American Honors and our Women’s Team was named a CSCAA Scholar All-American Team for Spring 2009.
Rising junior Marissa Morris (Tom’s River, NJ) has been named a Scholar All-American. To be considered for this award, an athlete must have qualified for the NCAA Championships and achieved a GPA a 3.50 or higher.
Graduated seniors Erica Ellis and Joelle Hopf, and rising junior Jess Lester have been named Honorable Mention Scholar All-Americans. For this, the athletes must have achieved an NCAA Consideration Time as well as a GPA of 3.50 or higher.
Our women’s team has continued to excel in the classroom, claiming a team GPA of 3.47 for spring 2009, which tied them for 16th in the NCAA among ALL division 3 teams. They have been named a Scholar All-American Team yet again.
Many congratulations to all the recipients!
