NORTHFIELD, Minn. – The Carleton College men's and women's swimming & diving programs both earned the Scholar All-America Team Award from the College Swimming & Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) for the 30th consecutive time. This honor recognizes the Knights' work in the classroom.
 
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, the head coach must be a member of CSCAA and 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) combined on a 3.69 GPA during the fall 2025 portion of the season, ranking sixth among NCAA Division III men's teams with at least 25 participants. This was the seventh straight time that the Carleton men posted a team GPA over 3.50.
 
Meanwhile, the Carleton women's program (31 participants) owned a 3.67 GPA to rank 14th among squads with 25+ participants) during the designated period. This was the eighth straight time that the Knight women surpassed a 3.50 team GPA.
 
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 one other conference school has 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 fall 2025. Of that group, Carleton was 1 of only 32 to post cumulative GPAs of at least 3.50 with at least 25 participants on both its rosters.
