2025-26 RMAC Swimming & Diving Academic Teams: MEN | WOMEN
 
COLORADO SPRINGS – Oredigger swimming & diving had a combined 17 Orediggers recognized by the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference for their athletic and academic achievements Thursday with the unveiling of the RMAC All-Academic Swimming & Diving honors.
 
Lucas Hoke, Joseph Lev-Tov, and Cameron MacMillan were voted RMAC First-Team All-Academic on the men's side. The women's trio of Jennifer Pierson, Jordan Tierney, and Kylie VanderMeer earned RMAC First-Team All-Academic distinction as well. The top academic team was voted on by the league's communications professionals. Voters considered accomplishments both in the pool and in the classroom when casting their ballots. Baseline requirements to be nominated for the first team included a cumulative grade-point average (GPA) of 3.50, or better, completion of two consecutive semesters at the nominees' current school, and use of a season of competition. Hoke and Lev-Tov were the only repeat selections on the men's first team. Colorado Mesa's Ben Vester and Ada Qunell were the men's and women's RMAC Academic Players of the Year as the top vote-getters in the process.
 
In addition to the six first-team selections, the Oredigger men and women totaled 11 RMAC Academic Honor Roll selections. Aidan Bailey, Vladislav Kazakin, and Mattie Oberley appeared on the men's honor roll. Eden Addison, Ava Burger, Sophia Cristal, Julie Gill, Ava LaBrose, Elizabeth Powers, Cameryn Schmidt, and Abby Swanson represented the Oredigger women on the RMAC Academic Honor Roll. Those selected to the honor roll were required to carry a cumulative GPA of 3.30, or better, completed two consecutive semesters at their current institution, and use a season of eligibility.
