Women's Swimming and Diving Team Recognized By CSCAA For Academic Success

The WSU women turned in a 3.63 team GPA for the 2022-23 winter semester.

DETROIT -- The Wayne State University women's swimming and diving team was one of 718 squads named a Scholar All-American Team by the CSCAA (College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America) for academic success during the Winter 2022-23 semester. Individually, 10 Warriors received First Team Scholar All-American honors.

The WSU women tied-for-14th nationally with a 3.63 GPA for the Winter 2022-23 semester, a clip that was also good enough for fourth among the top 17 programs that competed at the NCAA Championships.

The 10 WSU student-athletes receiving individual recognition were:

Elly Belmore (St. Clair Shores, Mich. / Lakeview)
Sabine Branford (Plymouth, Mich. / Salem)
Evie Dice (Waterford, Mich. / Clarkston)
Jordan Fox (Melbourne, Victoria, Australia / Mentone Grammar)
Hannah Gurecki (Macomb, Mich. / L'Anse Creuse North)
Hasten Horling (Grand Rapids, Mich. / Northview)
Isidora Sekaric (Windsor, Ont. / W.F. Herman Academy)
Mikaela Senkus (Macomb, Mich. / Utica Academy for International Studies)
Megan Sieloff (Grand Blanc, Mich.)
Alli Vassilakos.(Clarkston, Mich.)

To be named a First Team Scholar All-American, student-athletes must achieve a minimum GPA of 3.50 and participate in their respective national championship. Second Team selections also earned a GPA of 3.50 or higher and met the "B" time standard for the national championship or participated in a diving zone qualification meet.

"The Wayne State women's swimming and diving team once again continues to astonish me with their excellence in the classroom and pool," said head coach Sean Peters. "With a top-10 finish at the NCAA Championships, having a team GPA over a 3.6, while seeing Elly, Sabine, Evie, Jordan, Hannah, Hasten, Izzy, Mikaela, Megan and Alli all become Academic All-Americans, I am very proud!"

In Division II, the Catawba women earned the highest team GPA (3.85) with Ouachita Baptist (3.78) coming in at No. 2. Tied-for-third were Cal-State East Bay (3.76) and Lenoir-Rhyne (3.76). Rounding out the top five was Lynn (3.75). On the men's side, Lenoir-Rhyne (3.58) earned the top spot while the No. 1 team from the fall semester, Florida Southern (3.54), tied with Mines (3.54) for second. Rounding out the top five were Northern Michigan (3.50) and Rollins (3.50), who finished tied-for-fourth.
