Wheaton, Ill. -- The College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) recently published its list of Scholar All-America Teams from each NCAA Division for the Spring 2025 semester, and both Thunder programs earned recognition for their academic achievement. Additionally, the CSCAA announced its list of Individual Scholar All-Americans for the 2024-25 season, and Wheaton sophomore Tess Boyer was honored as a First Team member following her athletic and academic successes last year.

The Scholar All-America Team award is given to collegiate swimming and diving programs that have achieved a combined grade point average of 3.0 or higher for the most recent semester/quarter. 

The 2024-25 Wheaton squads were two of the 763 NCAA, NAIA, and NJCAA programs around the country to register GPAs of at least 3.00 this spring. The Thunder women's team posted a 3.64 cumulative grade point average in the second semester, while the Thunder men's program posted a cumulative team GPA of 3.34 in the 2025 spring semester.

Boyer (pictured right) earned her first Individual Scholar All-America recognition and was named to the CSCAA's First Team list of honorees for 2024-25. To qualify for First Team Scholar All-America status, student-athletes needed to earn a minimum GPA of 3.50 last year and have participated in their Division's respective national championship meet. 

Boyer's accolade extends Wheaton's five-year streak of having at least one student-athlete named to the Individual Scholar All-America Team dating back to 2021, and she is the only female swimmer from the CCIW to earn the designation for 2024-25.
