Xavier Swim & Dive National Academic Honors

Coach Smithers (Smitty), Assistant Swim & Dive Coach

Every year, NISCA (National Interscholastic Swimming Coaches Association) honors athletes and teams with two academic awards: Individual Academic All-America and Team Scholar.
 
Academic All-American
This year, we have six Academic All-Americans. 
Ellie Desmond (Diving)
Adriana Lauterborn (Swimming)
Audrey McEwen (Swimming)
Sophia Villanueva (Swimming)
Sophie Dumanski (Swimming)
Stella Vinokur (Swimming)
 
To be an Academic All-American, student athletes must have a 3.75 GPA as of her 7th semester transcript along with a recommendation of the coach and be in high standing on the team. As noted by NISCA, only 10%-15% of all swimmers, divers, and water polo players in high school achieve this award yearly.
 
So, the Swim & Dive Team along with the coaches, are so proud of these ladies!
 
Letters were sent to each Academic All-American as well as a letter to their parents.
 
 
Team Scholar
There are three levels for Team Scholar:
Bronze Level 3.200 - 3.499
Silver Level 3.500 - 3.749
Gold Level 3.750 - 4.000
 
Team GPA is determined by the cumulative grade by all varsity team members for that season. And, all GPAs over 4.0 are rounded down to a 4.000
 
This is the 5th year we have applied for this honor. 
2021-2022: the Lady Gators were awarded SLIVER LEVEL with a 3.713 GPA.
2022-2023:  the Lady Gators were GOLD LEVEL with a GPA of 3.751
