RICHMOND, Va. - The College of Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) announced that the Concordia-St. Paul swimming and diving team was one of 714 teams from 418 institutions named for the 2026 Spring semester, as announced on Wednesday.
Teams were selected on the basis of their Spring 2026 grade point averages and were required to achieve a team GPA of 3.00 or higher to earn Scholar All-America recognition.
This marks the ninth consecutive semester the Navy and Gold have earned the honor, notching a 3.65 team GPA. The team GPA is the second-highest to date, nearly matching last fall's 3.67, with the program eclipsing the 3.50 plateau for the fourth-straight semester.
"This recognition celebrates the remarkable commitment these student-athletes make to excellence both in the classroom and in competition," said CSCAA Executive Director Samantha Barany. "The 714 teams honored this spring represent the very best of collegiate swimming and diving, demonstrating that academic success and athletic achievement go hand in hand. We congratulate every student-athlete, coach, and institution recognized."
The Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) was well-represented on the list, with Augustana (3.56), Minnesota State (3.69), MSU Moorhead (3.56), Northern State (3.60), Sioux Falls (3.48), Southwest Minnesota State (3.55) and St. Cloud State (3.60).
The CSCAA Scholar All-America Team program presented by Fitter & Faster Swim Camps recognizes collegiate swimming and diving teams that have demonstrated excellence in the classroom by achieving a cumulative team GPA of 3.00 or higher during the semester. Since its inception, the program has celebrated thousands of teams and student-athletes who exemplify the balance of academic and athletic success.
Founded in 1922, the College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) is the nation's first organization of college coaches. The mission of the CSCAA is to advance the sport of swimming and diving with coaches at the epicenter of leadership, advocacy, and professional development.
