Swimming recognized for success in classroom

MILLIGAN, Tenn. (June 30, 2020) -- The College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) has selected the Milligan University men's and women's swimming teams for Scholar All-American honors. Milligan was one of 461 schools to receive the award for the spring semester.

"I could not be more proud of our team's accomplishments given everything that has happened in recent months and with the transition to online classes in March," Head Coach Spencer Scarth said. "This accomplishment really goes to show that our team can be very successful in the face of adversity. Both teams achieved the highest GPAs in team history, and I am sure that if the CSCAA was able to post GPAs for all schools, we would have been right at the top of the list!"

Teams were selected on the basis of their spring grade-point averages and represent 17,982 student-athletes.
