Three NAIA swimmers and divers were among the 47 male student-athletes selected to the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-District At-Large Team. Five women’s swimmers and divers were selected amongst 44 total honorees.
The three men’s swimmers and divers ranked sixth in number of selections for any at-large sport in 2019 behind tennis (15), golf (14), volleyball (6), wrestling (5) and lacrosse (4).
The five women’s swimmers and divers followed 19 tennis players, 14 golfers and six lacrosse players in at-large selections.
At-Large Teams are selected from all sports except men’s soccer, women’s soccer, football, volleyball, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, softball, baseball and men’s and women’s track and field/cross country, which have their own Academic All-District and All-America teams selected per sport.
Student-athletes must have a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.30 and be a starter or contributor (participating in at least 50 percent of team’s contests) to be considered for Academic All-District and All-American accolades. Student-athletes must have completed one calendar year at his/her institution and be at least at sophomore eligibility-wise.
All-District honorees, which are selected from eight geographic regions across the country for NAIA, are eligible for Academic All-America honors, which will be announced in June. The awards recognize the top student-athletes nationally for their combined performances on the field of play and in the classroom.
