CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Harvard
men's swimming and diving team recorded the second-highest
team GPA among Division I schools in 2010-11, as the squad earned
CSCAA Scholar All-America honors, the organization announced. Six
members of last year's squad also received individual scholar
All-America honorable mention honors.
The Crimson compiled a 3.40 team GPA during the 2010-11 season,
tying it for second place among Division I schools with Boston
College, and just .04 back of Denver. The team GPA represents an
improvement from the 2009-10 season, where the Crimson placed sixth
among Division I programs with a 3.34 team grade-point average.
Three freshmen led the way with the individual honors, as Chris
Satterthwaite, Wes Stearns and Danny Crigler earned honorable
mention accolades. Junior Nicholas Tan also earned a spot on the
Scholar All-America squad, and seniors Blake Lewkowitz '10
and Will Heyburn '10 rounded out the sextet of honorees.
The CSCAA chooses its Scholar All-America team members on the
basis of their performances in the pool and classroom. To be
selected to the squad, swimmers must qualify for the NCAA
Championships meet and achieve a GPA of 3.50 or higher. Honorable
mention selections, meanwhile, must achieve an NCAA provisional
qualifying time and a 3.50 or higher GPA.
