The Oswego State men's and women's swimming and diving teams were recently recognized as NCAA Division III Scholar All-America teams by the College Swim Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) for the 2014 spring semester.
In order to be named on the All-America list, squads must earn a combined team grade-point average of 3.00 or higher.
The Laker women were tied for the second-highest GPA among SUNYAC teams, being honored among 140 Division III Institutions with a combined 3.27 GPA. Brockport (3.59) was the only conference school with a higher GPA while Oneonta (3.27), New Paltz (3.21), Geneseo (3.19) and Cortland (3.06) were also recognized.
This marks the ninth time in the last 11 semesters that the women's swimming and diving team has been named a Scholar All-America team, as the CSCAA produces the list for both semesters each academic year.
On the men's side, three SUNYAC schools nabbed a 3.00 GPA or higher, with Oswego breaking into the list with a 3.01 mark. Geneseo led the conference schools with a 3.22 GPA while Brockport also made the list with a 3.10. In all, 92 Division III schools were honored for the men.
It is the second-straight spring semester that the Laker men have earned a spot on the Scholar All-America teams list.
