DALLAS (CSCAA/SMU) — The SMU men's and women's swimming and diving programs completed the year with their second College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) honor of the season after earning Scholar All-America accolades, the organization announced Wednesday.

To be selected as a CSCAA Scholar All-America Team, programs must have achieved a grade point average of 3.00 or higher over the spring semester.

On the women's side, SMU posted a 3.49 GPA to place them in the top third of the 172 Division I women's squads to earn the honor.
