Green Wave student-athletes Olivia Johnson, Kate McDonald, Jordan Morling and Kaitlin Simpson each earned honorable mention recognition for their academic performance.

"These women truly capture the spirit of being a student-athlete," head coach Katie Robinson said. "They have developed a work ethic that is second to none and deeply engrained in their character to benefit both their swimming and academic prowess. Â I am extremely proud of these women as they blaze the trail for more to follow."

The award recognizes students that have achieved a grade point average of 3.50 or higher and competed at their respective NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships.
