Richmond, Va. -- 10 student-athletes from Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) swimming and diving programs were named Scholar All-Americans by the College Swimming & Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA).  The award recognizes students who achieved a grade point average of 3.50 or higher and were invited to compete at their respective national championship.

To qualify for First-Team Scholar All-America, student-athletes must have earned a GPA of 3.5 or higher and participated in their national championship.  Second-Team selections (also called Honorable Mention) must have also earned a 3.50 GPA or higher and achieved a "B" time standard for the national championship or participated at a diving zone qualification meet. Due to the cancellation of the Division III and NAIA championship, the CSCAA established time standards for qualification based on a standard deviation of previous national championship participation. All criteria can be found on the CSCAA website.

Of the 10 student-athletes that were recognized, five are from Hope College, four from Albion College and one from Olivet College.
