A total of 41 NCAA Division I swimmers and divers were named to their respective 2021-22 Academic All-District At-Large teams on Thursday as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
The recognition is earned by the nation’s top student-athletes for their combined performance both in athletic competition and in the classroom. Athletes are recognized across four divisions (NCAA Division I, II, III and NAIA) and eight different districts separated geographically.
Women’s Teams (Division I)
The women’s honorees included 2022 individual national champion Kaitlyn Dobler, a USC sophomore who won the women’s 100 breaststroke at the NCAA Championships in March.
Also getting named to their respective All-District Teams were former NCAA champions Maggie MacNeil (Michigan), Brooke Forde (Stanford) and Sophie Hansson (NC State), all three of whom earned the same honor last season.
In 2021, Forde was also named the women’s CoSIDA D1 Academic At-Large All-American of the year.
Also named to their respective All-District Team for the second straight year were Duquesne’s Hanna Everhart, Alabama’s Morgan Liberto, Kansas’ Kate Steward and Cal’s Robin Neumann.

Freshmen aren’t eligible.
Requires extreme dedication and discipline to achieve high level of athletic achievement while doing what’s necessary to maintain excellent grades. Congratulations to all who have achieved this honor!
Jake Foster gets nowhere near enough credit for having near-perfect pre-med (!!) GPA + MCAT score as well as managing to be all-American in all of his events. Mad props, hope he has a great senior year
How do you know his mcat score…
