Colorado Springs, Colo. – The College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) has selected the University of the Ozarks men's and women's swimming and diving teams for Scholar All-American honors. 

Ozarks was one of 461 schools to receive the award for the 2020 Spring semester.  Teams were selected on the basis of their Spring grade point averages and represent 17,982 student-athletes.  

CSCAA Executive Director Greg Earhart mentioned the efforts of Coach David DeGeus noting that "No team was unaffected by this Spring's pandemic but Athletic Director Jimmy Clark and President Richard Dunsworth can and should be proud of their team and the work of David." 

It is the sixth time the women's team has achieved the award and the third time for the men's team.

Founded in 1922, the College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA), is the nation's first organization of college coaches. The mission of the CSCAA is to advance the sport of swimming and diving with coaches at the epicenter of leadership, advocacy, and professional development.
