HONOLULU-- The University of Hawai'i men's and women's swimming and diving program continues to make an impact on the 2019-20 campaign as the Coaches Association (CSCAA) named UH to its Scholar All-America Team for the Spring 2019 Semester.
 
UH was one of 461 schools to receive the award for the Spring semester. Teams were selected based on their Spring grade point averages and represent 17,982 student-athletes.  Additional institutional adjustments to grading systems resulted in GPAs nearly one-quarter letter grade higher than previously. As a result, the CSCAA will not be publishing team GPAs. This Semester's list also does not include teams at institutions that switched entirely to pass/fail grading.
 
"No team was unaffected by this Spring's pandemic, but Athletic Director Matlin and President Lassner can and should be proud of their team and the work of head coach Elliot Ptasnik," said CSCAA Executive Director Greg Earhart.
 
The first year under Ptasnik was a memorable one as the Rainbow Warriors, and Rainbow Wahine were crowned MPSF champions. Plus, the conference appointed six end of the year awards to the program, including 27 selections to the All-Academic Team, and nine named to the CSCAA All-American Team.
