LA MIRADA --- The CSCAA gave outs its spring Scholar All-America honors, commemorating the top academic programs in the country. The Biola men's and women's swim and dive squads each surpassed the standards and placed a combined total of seven athletes on the Individual Scholar All-America List.

To qualify for this prestigious recognition, teams had to earn a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 during the Spring 2024 semester. Of the 722 selected teams, 563 achieved a GPA of 3.30 or above.

Each BU team boasted 25 student-athletes on the roster and were above a 3.4 GPA for the spring semester. The men's team came in at 3.47, while the women's squad held a 3.69 GPA in the spring of 2024. 

The two squads have now made it five-straight semesters with a plus-3.0 GPA to obtain a spot on the prestigious list.
