COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The men's and women's Tennessee swimming and diving teams have been named Scholar All-America teams for the Spring 2020 semester by the College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association, the organization announced.
The Lady Vols finished with a spring GPA of 3.73, while the men's team came in with a 3.47. Tennessee was one of 461 schools to receive the award for the Spring semester. Teams were selected on the basis of their Spring grade point averages and represent 17,982 student-athletes.
CSCAA Executive Director Greg Earhart noted: "No team was unaffected by this Spring's pandemic but Athletic Director Phillip Fulmer and Chancellor Donde Plowman can and should be proud of their team and the work of Director of Swimming and Diving Matt Kredich."
"We are extremely proud of our team," Kredich said. "The staff of the Thornton Center and our whole support staff continued our pursuit of excellence in the classroom this semester despite the tumultuous spring that everyone experienced. We adjusted, adapted and then excelled under unprecedented circumstances. I am really proud of everyone's focus and commitment to this team's standards."
Founded in 1922, the College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) – the first organization of college coaches in America – is a professional organization of college swimming and diving coaches dedicated to serving and providing leadership for the advancement of the sport of swimming & diving at the collegiate level.
The CSCAA will announce its individual Scholar All-Americans next week.
