AUBURN, Ala. – The College Swimming & Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) recognized 19 Auburn student-athletes as Scholar All-Americans, including five First-Team Scholar All-America selections, the organization announced Tuesday.
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.
