NORTHFIELD, Minn. – For the 27th consecutive time, both the Carleton College men's and women's swimming & diving programs garnered recognition for their work in the classroom as they earned the Scholar All-America Team Award from the College Swimming & Diving Coaches Association of America's (CSCAA).
 
The Scholar All-America Team Award is presented biannually, once for the fall term and again for the winter term/spring semester. For a program to earn this honor, swimming & diving squads must post a combined team grade point average of 3.0 or better on a 4.0 scale during the designated time period.
 
The Carleton swimmers and divers easily exceeded that threshold. The men's program (27 participants) posted a 3.65 GPA during the winter/spring session, ranking 10th among NCAA Division III men's teams with at least 25 participants. Meanwhile, the Carleton women's program (29 participants) also had a 3.65 GPA to rank 16th during the designated period.
 
According to CSCAA.org, the Carleton teams are the only MIAC squads—men's or women's—to take home these honors each time since Winter/Spring 2011. In fact, only two other conference schools have a current streak of at least 10 consecutives CSCAA Scholar All-America Team Awards.
 
A total of 130 NCAA Division III schools saw both their men's and women's programs capture the Scholar All-America Team Award for winter/spring 2024. Of that group, Carleton was 1 of only 18 to post cumulative GPAs of at least 3.50 with at least 25 participants on both its rosters. The
