SAINT PETER, Minn. — The College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) released its All-America honors Tuesday and four Gustavus swimmers received recognition.
All four Gustie women that competed in the 2023 NCAA Championships earned CSCAA All-America Second Team honors. Ellen Hofstede (Sr., St. Paul) picked up the award in the 200 free relay, 100 free, and 400 free relay. The trio of Marit Isaacson (So., St. Paul), Lucy Peterson (Jr., St. Paul), and Abby Yartz (Sr., Bemidji) joined Hofstede for their 200 and 400 free relay performances.
The awards were determined by a nationwide vote of CSCAA-member Division III head swimming coaches and head diving coaches. All-Americans are selected based on their finish at the NCAA Championships and a team’s current membership with the CSCAA. Only student-athletes who competed in their championship finals are eligible for All-America Honors. NCAA relays & individuals must score in the top eight to earn first-team honors while those who finish ninth through sixteenth earn second-team honors.
