Women’s Swimming & Diving Ties for Fifth in National GPA Rankings

The Anderson University women's swimming and diving team compiled a 3.76 team GPA for the Spring 2023 semester to tie for fifth in the College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) NCAA D-III GPA rankings, which were announced on Monday.

Ponoma-Pitzer led the NCAA D-III with a 3.88 team GPA, which set the highest mark of the NCAA and NAIA divisions.

The CSCAA recognizes swimming and diving teams with Scholar All-America Team honors for achieving a team GPA of at least 3.0. Anderson's women's swimming and diving team has hit the 3.0 threshold in each of the program's 14 semesters of existence.

"It is an honor to coach a group of women who are both talented in the water and the classroom," Coach Emma Furnish said. "Every single one of these ladies play a HUGE part in the overall team. It is truly amazing to have been selected for the CSCAA Scholar All-America Team for the past 14 consecutive semesters since the team started in 2016!"
