"I'm very proud of Izzy, Maureen, and Alida for achieving greatness in the pool and classroom," head coach Jonas Persson said. "They are leaders in and out of the pool, and are great role models for our team, especially for our incoming freshmen. This is what it's all about as a student-athlete: having success academically and athletically. I'm thankful for our coaches association, the CSCAA, for working so hard to promote the sport of collegiate swimming and diving. Our goal is to increase this number every year."
