Swimmers’ work in the classroom earns honors

While the Kansas swimming and diving team was training and competing last fall, its efforts in the classroom also paid off.

The team was honored last week by the College Swimming Coaches Association of America as an Academic All-American Team for the fall 2008 semester.

Kansas finished the semester with a combined grade point average of 3.33, the second highest in the Big 12.

Of the 30 team members, 22 of Kansas’ swimmers and divers finished with a 3.0 grade point average or higher last semester.

Kansas had eight members with a 4.0 grade point average.

Among them were seniors Jessica Brozek, Anne Liggett, Hannah McMacken and sophomores Amanda Maez, Alyssa Potter and Brittany Potter.

The team also has 18 athletes eligible for Academic All Big-12 honors which are announced at the beginning of each semester.

This is the third consecutive semester that Kansas has been named an Academic All-American Team.

Kansas placed 17 swimmers on the Academic All Big-12 Team for the 2007-2008 season.

Last year senior Danielle Herrmann was an Academic All-American honoree and junior Emily Lanteigne was an Honorable Mention Academic All-American honoree.
