The College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) has selected the Truman State University men's and women's swimming teams for Scholar All-American honors. Truman State 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.Â
CSCAA Executive Director Greg Earhart mentioned the efforts of Coach Simek noting that "No team was unaffected by this Spring's pandemic but Athletic Director Wollmering and President Thomas can and should be proud of their team and the work of Jerod."Â
Additional institutional adjustments to grading systems resulted in GPAs nearly one-quarter letter grade higher than previously. As a result, the CSCAA will not be publishing team GPAs. This Semester's list also does not include teams at institutions that switched entirely to pass/fail grading.
Individual Scholar All-America selections will be announced next week.
Multiple Bulldog teams have won this award, most recently the women's team in the fall of 2018 and spring of 2019. Both men's and women's teams earned the award in the fall of 2017 and spring of 2018; among others.
