HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – The Marshall swimming and diving team was honored by the College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) as a Scholar All-America Team for the Spring 2022 semester, the organization announced.
Â
The Thundering Herd tallied an incredible team grade point average (GPA) of 3.75 in the spring, and tied for seventh-best across all of Division I.
Â
CSCAA Executive Director had this to say about Marshall, "Coach Walsh understands the values of training the complete student-athlete and that is evident by the team's success in the classroom."
Â
Stanford led all women's programs with a 3.83. The Herd also led all Conference USA schools as FIU was the next closest at 3.71 followed by Rice (3.68), North Texas (3.60), Florida Atlantic (3.43) and Old Dominion (3.27).
Â
"I'm incredibly proud of the commitment our women have continued to show in the classroom this year," Herd head coach Ian Walsh said. "We had 12 student-athletes with 4.0 GPAs this semester, 26 student-athletes over 3.5 GPA, and all 31 of our student athletes had over a 3.0 GPA. They hold themselves, and each other, to a standard of excellence both in and out of the water."
Â
 "We are so grateful for Kaylyn Torain and the rest of the staff in the Buck Harless Student Athlete Academic Center that support our women in their academic journey. Our student-athletes have so much to be proud of and we look forward to continuing to raise the bar in our academic and athletic pursuits here at Marshall."
Â
In addition to all 31 student-athletes on the roster earning a GPA of 3.00 for the semester, 18 earned the Conference USA Academic Medal in the spring of 2022 for maintaining a cumulative GPA of 3.75 or better, the most of any roster at Marshall. Â
