Marshall University’s swimming and diving team was named a College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) Scholar All-American team Wednesday.
The honor was awarded to swimming and diving teams that achieved a grade point average of 3.0 or higher during the fall 2015 semester.
The Herd’s GPA during the fall semester was 3.56, which ranks highest in Conference USA and tied for 12th-best in NCAA Division I.
This is the Herd’s eighth consecutive semester that it has received the CSCAA Scholar All-America honor.
Marshall coach Bill Tramel said he was pleased by the team’s commitment to the classroom and that the Herd can now strive for even more.
