COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -The College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) has selected the Oakland University men's and women's swimming and diving teams for Scholar All-American honors.

Oakland was one of 461 schools to receive the award for the spring semester.  Teams were selected on the basis of their spring grade point averages and represent 17,982 student-athletes.  
 
CSCAA Executive Director Greg Earhart mentioned the efforts of Coach Hovland noting that "No team was unaffected by this spring's pandemic but Athletic Director Waterfield and President Pescovitz can and should be proud of their team and the work of Pete." 

The Golden Grizzlies are coming off their 42nd straight conference title on the men's side, while the women captured their 26th consecutive league championship in February.

Additional institutional adjustments to grading systems resulted in GPAs nearly one-quarter letter grade higher than previously. As a result, the CSCAA will not be publishing team GPAs. 
 
Individual Scholar All-America selections will be announced next week.
 
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.
