Wheaton, Ill. – Several Wheaton student-athletes have been recognized for their efforts in the classroom by the CCIW. The 2013-14 CCIW Academic All-Conference Team for the spring season features 81 Wheaton student-athletes. The Academic All-Conference team consists of letterwinners from CCIW member institutions who achieve a cumulative grade point average of 3.30 or higher.

Two Thunder student-athletes earned recognition as the school's spring recipients of the Jack Swartz Award. Sarah Frey of the Thunder women's track and field team is Wheaton's female Jack Swartz Award recepient for the winter and senior baseball player Justin Swider is Wheaton's male honoree. Frey currently holds a 3.92 cumulative grade point average as a Biology major at Wheaton. Swider graduated from Wheaton in May with 3.56 cumulative grade point average as a Business/Economics major.

The Jack Swartz Award is given to one male and one female athlete from each conference school at the conclusion of each of the three athletic seasons (fall, winter and spring). The honor is given by the CCIW and each of the eight schools in the league picks their own representatives. The winners from each school must earn a varsity letter in his/her sport and have a grade point average of at least 3.50. The award is named after the late Jack Swartz, a former Wheaton student-athlete, coach and athletic administrator who served as the first Commissioner of the CCIW until his death in 1998.
