RICHMOND, Va. – Both the Missouri State men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams were selected as Scholar All-America Teams by the College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA), the organization announced today.

“This award is one we take a lot of pride in,” head coach Dave Collins said. “The academic excellence of our student-athletes is our top priority. I am proud of the team for their efforts and very appreciative of our support staff and advisors that play a role in the teams success in the classroom.”

On the women’s side, the 31 participating swimmers and divers racked up a team GPA of 3.60. For the men’s club, its 23 participants earned a team GPA of 3.39.
