Kelsi Worrell named ACC Scholar-Athlete of the Year, full All-Academic women’s team announced

Louisville’s Kelsi Worrell added another feather in her cap after her stellar junior season, earning ACC Scholar-Athlete of the Year honors.

The ACC Scholar-Athlete of the Year award is given to the top junior or senior in the conference who has held a grade point average of 3.0 or better. Worrell is coming off of an explosive breakout season in which she won two NCAA titles (100 and 200 fly) and shattered the NCAA, American and U.S. Open records in the 100 fly, records set over a decade ago by Olympic icon Natalie Coughlin.

Worrell becomes the first Louisville Cardinal swimmer to win the award, given that this was the Cardinals’ first season in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

The ACC also released the All-ACC Academic Team roster, which honors selected athletes who hold a GPA of 3.0 or better and also earned a 3.0 or better in the fall semester.

Virginia leads all programs with 8 All-Academic honorees, including NCAA champ Leah Smith and ACC champ Courtney Bartholomew, who was likely one of the top challengers to Worrell for the overall Scholar-Athlete of the Year award.
