MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin, May 21. SENIOR Ashley Hall of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee women's diving team was named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District Team by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA), the organization announced today. This marks the first time a Milwaukee diver\/swimmer has ever earned the prestigious first-team distinction two times in a career.<\/p>\n
Hall dove her way to eight different victories on the season, giving her 21 wins in just two years as a Panther. She was named Horizon League Co-Diver of the Meet at the 2009 league championships after winning the three-meter and taking third on the one-meter board.<\/p>\n
The academic accolades continue to roll in, as she was selected to the Academic All-Horizon League team as a junior and senior last month. Hall has won league diver of the week eight times in her two years and was also tabbed Scholar-Athlete of the Week four times, with both totals being league-highs. Hall is a Dean's List member who carries the highest cumulative GPA on the women's team of anyone who qualified for the honor.<\/p>\n
The academic awards may continue as all members honored as First Team Academic All-District will appear in CoSIDA's national ballot for the Academic All-America Women's At-Large Team, which will be announced in mid-June.<\/p>\n
Hall, a business major with a 3.96 GPA, was the only Horizon League student-athlete to be named to the two ESPN The Magazine at-large teams Thursday. In addition to being the first-ever UWM swimmer or diver to make the first team twice in a career, she will look to be the first honored on a national squad since Sarah Caldwell earned third-team honors in 2004.<\/p>\n
