CSCAA Names Division III Award-Winners

The College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) awarded its NCAA Division III Swimming and Diving Awards Saturday Evening at the ISD Conroe Natatorium in Shenandoah, Texas.  In an interesting twist, three of the four athletes earning the annual awards did so after previously winning the award in 2015.

These awardees were led by Emory's Andrew Wilson (Damascus, MA).  Wilson shattered the NCAA records in the 100- and 200-yard breaststroke en route to his second Swimmer-of-the-Year Award.  The Emory senior posted the nation's fastest time among all Divisions in the 100 breaststroke and second-fastest time in the 200 breaststroke.  Williams College's Emma Waddell (Bangor, ME) was named the Women's Swimmer-of-the-Year after after winning the 50 freestyle and defending her title in the 100 butterfly.

The Divers-of-the-Year were a repeat of 2015's award-winners.  Wellesley College junior Maura Sticco-Ivins (Framingham, Mass.) was named CSCAA Diver-of-the-Year after turning in wins on the 1- and 3-meter boards.  Denison senior Max Levy Denison was named men's Diver-of-the-Year after sweeping both boards.  Both he and Sticco-Ivans were named Diver-of-the-Year in 2015.  In addition to their success on the boards, Sticco-Ivans and Levy were both recognized as Scholar All-Americans by the CSCAA last year.

Emory's Jon Howell was named CSCAA Men's and Women's Coach-of-the-Year.  It was the sixth women's award for the longtime Eagle head coach and first award for the men.  Denison's Russ Bertram took home men's Diving Coach-of-the-Year honors for the third time in four years while Jack Lewis became the second Wellesley coach to earn Women's Diving Coach-of-the-Year honors in three seasons.

The CSCAA also named 133 women and 140 men to its Division III All-America Team.  An additional 159 individuals were named as Honorable Mention All-Americans.  All-Americans were selected on the basis of their finish at the Championships and membership with the CSCAA.  The top eight individuals and relay members in each event earned First-Team recognition while those finishing 9-16th named Honorable Mention (or 2nd Team) All-American
