RICHMOND, Va. - Twelve BYU swim and dive athletes achieved Scholar All-America status from the College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA), the organization announced on July 3.
Seven members of the men's team and five from the women's team were honored for their academic and athletic achievements during the 2024-25 season. Among them, juniors Alexia Jackson Hansen and Mackenzie Miller Lung received first-team Scholar All-America honors.
