CORAL GABLES, Fla. — The University of Miami women’s swimming & diving team was among those to earn Scholar All-America Team honors from the College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA), the organization announced.

The Hurricanes’ 3.51 team GPA was the highest of any women’s program in the state of Florida and the fourth-best GPA in the ACC.

“This is another example of how determined these women are to achieve great things,” head swimming coach Andy Kershaw said. “They set a very high standard as a team. They have high team goals in academics, athletics and community service, and they are committed to achieving those goals.”

Miami’s team GPA was No. 12 among all “Power 5” programs.

“They are a very diverse group of people, with various majors and interests, and it is great to see them come together as a team to work together and learn from each other,” Kershaw said.

To earn the honor, teams were required to post a GPA of 3.0 or higher for the Fall Semester and maintain a roster of 12 or more student-athletes.
