Tallahassee, Fla. – Eight members of No.18/NR Florida State swimming and diving teams were recognized for their efforts in the classroom on Tuesday, as the 2022-23 College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District teams were announced.
Izzy Gregersen, Jenny Halden, Maddie McDonald, and Anna Metzler were named to the NCAA Division I women’s swimming and diving list, while Tazman Abramowicz, Jesco Helling, Nick Mason, and Arijus Pavlidi were named to the men’s.
The 2022-23 Academic All-District® Men’s and Women’s Swimming & Diving Teams, selected by College Sports Communicators, recognize the nation’s top student-athletes for their combined performances in the pool and in the classroom. The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes swimming & diving honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III, and NAIA — for each gender.
Seven of the eight student-athletes competed and scored points toward the team totals at the 2023 ACC Championships and all eight hold a cumulative GPA of 3.50 or higher. Mason was recently tabbed as a 2023 ACC Postgraduate Scholar.
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 mid-March.
Swimming and diving moved into its own category of academic awards from CSC this season. In previous seasons, the sport fell under the at-large category where eight Noles earned 15 All-District honors since 2005 and four student-athletes were placed on one of the Academic All-America teams.
The divers will look to qualify for the NCAA Championships via the NCAA Zone B Championships that will be held March 5-8 at the University of Tennessee. The Women’s NCAA Swimming and Diving Champioships will be held March 15-18 in Knoxville, while the men’s meet will be held in Minneapolis, Minn., March 22-25.
