(PITTSBURGH, Pa.) – Four Carnegie Mellon University women's swimming and diving student-athletes were named to the College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District Team for Division III Women's Swimming and Diving.

The Academic All-District Teams recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances in the pool and in the classroom.

To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must compete in five competitions OR finish top-eight at a conference meet and carry at least a 3.50 cumulative grade point average and have achieved at least sophomore academic and athletic standing.

Academic All‐District honorees advance to the CSC Academic All‐America ballot. First‐, second‐ and third-team Academic All‐America honorees will be announced in April, following a vote by CSC's membership, which is comprised of more than 3,000 sports information and athletic communication professionals throughout the United States and Canada.
