Scottsdale, Ariz. – For the second straight semester the Oberlin College men's swimming and diving registered the highest grade point average in the country, the College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) announced on June 30. The women's team, which had three individuals with honors, also earned All-Academic accolades with a 3.26 GPA.

The Yeomen's team GPA of 3.57 was tops in the country regardless of division and was half a point higher than Colorado College (3.52). The Yeomen recorded a nation-leading mark of 3.60 during the fall semester.

“Once again this honor illustrates the effort our team puts forth in the classroom as well as in the water,” Head Coach Mark Fino said.

To be eligible for the award, a team must compile a minimum GPA of 3.0 during the spring semester.

The Yeowomen, who were named to the CSCAA All-Academic Team include Laura Fries, Kate Melanson and Grace Aheron. This distinct honor goes to those who earned a minimum GPA of 3.5 and also posted an NCAA national qualifying time.

The Yeoswimmers are just a little over two months away before they begin their preparations for the 2010-11 season.
