A total of 25 members of the New York University men's and women's swimming & diving teams earned academic honors from the College Swimming & Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) following the programs' historic 2025–26 seasons.
The CSCAA announced its Scholar All-America Teams on Thursday, acknowledging 17 members of the women's team and eight members of the men's team for their outstanding performances in both the classroom and the pool.
In addition, both the NYU men's and women's swimming & diving teams were recognized as CSCAA Scholar All-Academic Teams after posting spring semester team GPAs of 3.57 and 3.60, respectively.
"This kind of recognition says a lot about who these student-athletes are, not just in the water but in the classroom too, stated Head Coach Trevor Miele. "Winning the CSCAA Scholar All-America award as a team, on both sides, is a testament to the culture we've built here. And having 25 individual honorees just shows the depth of commitment across the whole roster. Really proud of this group."
To qualify for First-Team Scholar All-America, student-athletes must have earned a GPA of 3.5 or higher and participated in their national championship. Second-Team selections, must have also earned a 3.5 GPA or higher and met an NIC "A" time standard in Division I or an NCAA "B" qualifying standard for the national championship or qualified for a diving zone qualification meet for Division II, Division III, and NAIA.
The women's First-Team honorees were Babette Bradley, Eloise Emig, Reina Gomez, Meera Kasturi, Llew Ladomirak, Kaley McIntyre, Emery Muller, Maeve O'Donnell, Sarah Pierson, Nicole Ranile, Isabella Reyes, Ella Romberg, Bethany Spangler, Sammy Wong, Lina Wordelman, and Aanya Wala.
The men's First-Team honorees were Conner Dean, Pierce Downs, Misha Kabunov, Sean Li, Max Nechydyuk, Sebastian Wenger, and Stone Miller.
Hodge Dauler and Andrea Wu were awarded Second-Team honors.
These accolades cap off an extraordinary 2025-26 season for NYU Swimming & Diving. The women's program captured its first NCAA Division III National Championship, while the men's team recorded the highest finish in program history by placing second nationally. Together, the Violets produced the highest combined finish among all Division III institutions. Both teams also led the nation in All-America honors, with the women earning 50 selections and the men totaling 44.
