Soloveychik, Del Angel Named Academic All-Americans

4/24/2024 11:00:00 AM | Men's Swimming & Diving, Women's Swimming & Diving

MINNEAPOLIS - Two members of the Minnesota swim and dive team have been named Academic All-America, as announced by College Sports Communicators on Wednesday. The 2024 Academic All-America Team recognizes that nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances in the pool and in the classroom.

Junior Bar Soloveychik and sophomore Vivi Del Angel were both named Third Team Academic All-Americans for the first time in their careers.

Soloveychik earned CSC All-District honors in 2023 and is a two-time College Swimming & Diving Coaches Association of America First Team Scholar All-American.

For Del Angel, this is her first time being honored by CSC. In 2023, she was honored by the CSCAA as a First Team Scholar All-American.

To be considered for a CSC Academic All-America Team, nominees must meet the following criteria:
  • A student-athlete must be at least a sophomore with at least a 3.50 cumulative grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) at their current institution. 
  • A graduate student-athlete must have at least a 3.50 cumulative grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) as both an undergraduate and a grad student unless they are in their first semester as a graduate student and don't have an established graduate GPA.
  • Eligible individuals need to compete in four competitions OR finish top eight at a conference meet.
Nominations are limited to four student-athletes per institution for both men's and women's teams. Student-athletes who are nominated are then evaluated by a sub-committee to determine if they can advance to the Academic All-America ballot. Academic All-America nominees are then voted on by the CSC members.
