Spring 2024 CSCAA Team Scholar All-America

The Colorado School of Mines men’s and women’s swimming teams have both earned Spring Team Scholar All-America status from the College Swimming and Diving Coaches’ Association of America (CSCAA).

The Oredigger men and women claimed the award thanks to their collective work in the classroom during the spring semester. The 22 Mines men on the roster combined for a team grade point average (GPA) of 3.47. Eighteen Oredigger women achieved a team GPA of 3.45. The prestigious recognition requires the team to achieve a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better during the spring 2024 semester. Mines represented two of the 722 teams from 417 institutions that reached the milestone. Furthermore, Head Coach Claire McDaniel‘s squadrons were two of 563 with a GPA above 3.30.

Coach McDaniel, both of whose teams are in the offseason, just announced her incoming class for the 2024-2025 season. She signed five men and six women to strengthen her already impressive roster.
