NEWARK, N.J. --- The NJIT men's swimming and diving program was once again honored by the College Swimming & Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) as one of the 426 overall institutions and 110 Division I men's programs to earn Scholar All-America team honors for the spring semester.

The Highlanders put together a team grade point average of 3.54 while completing its condensed spring campaign and placing third overall as hosts of its first-ever America East Swimming Championships in April.

The honor, which NJIT also claimed in the fall, is bestowed on programs that achieve a cumulative semester grade point average of 3.0 or better.

When sorted by GPA, the Highlanders sit within the top 25 of Division I men's teams with their cumulative average.

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.
