ORANGE, Calif. - The Chapman University women's swimming and diving team has achieved team Scholar All-America status from the College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) for the Spring 2011 semester. This is the second semester in a row the Panthers have earned the honor.
Chapman's team grade point average of 3.37 put it in the top-50 amongst all Division III programs. The Panthers first earned Scholar All-America honors for the Fall 2010 semester – the first-ever team academic honor for Chapman swimmers.
