The College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) have announces their Academic All-District honors for the 2016-17 season. The list includes athletes from all sports, but 148 swimmers and divers (78 female, 71 male) were honored from eight districts across Division I, Division II, Division III and other colleges.

The full lists can be found below:

Women’s Academic All-District

Men’s Academic All-District

To be nominated, student-athletes must have at least a 3.3 cumulative grade-point average, and be considered a starter or a significant reserve. The Academic All America Teams will be chosen from these lists, and released later this month.

Read the full press release from CoSIDA below.

The 2016-17 College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-District® Men’s and Women’s At-Large Team has been released to recognize the nation’s top student-athletes for their combined performances athletically and in the classroom.

The Academic All-District® teams include the student-athletes listed on the following pages and are divided into eight geographic districts across the United States and Canada. This is the sixth year of the expanded Academic All-America® program as CoSIDA moved from recognizing a University Division (Division I) and a College Division (all non-Division I) and has doubled the number of scholar-athletes honored. The expanded teams include NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II and NCAA Division III participants, while the College Division Academic All-America® Team combines NAIA, Canadian and two-year schools.

The Division II and III Academic All-America® program is being financially supported by the NCAA Division II and III national governance structures, to assist CoSIDA with handling the awards fulfillment aspects for the 2016-17 DII and DIII Academic All-America® teams program.

First-team Academic All-District® honorees advance to the CoSIDA Academic All-America® Team ballot, where first-, second- and third-team All-America® honorees will be selected later this month.
