STANFORD, Calif. - Twenty one Stanford men’s swimming and diving student-athletes earned academic recognition from the Pac-12 Conference, as announced Friday by commissioner Larry Scott.
The Cardinal placed seven student-athletes on the first team, tied with Utah for the most of any program. Stanford added six more second-team selections to go along with eight honorable mentions.
Senior Ryan Arata, a mechanical engineering major, had a league-best 4.03 grade-point average. Pac-12 Swimming and Diving Student-Athlete of the Year Gray Umbach posted a 3.99 grade-point average in chemical engineering.
To be eligible for selection to the Pac-12 All-Academic team, a student-athlete must have a minimum 3.0 overall grade-point average and participate in at least half of their team’s scheduled regular-season events.
