SPRINGFIELD, OH — Five members of Wittenberg's men's and women's swimming and diving program have been named to the College Sports Communicators (CSC) NCAA Division III Soccer Academic All-District Teams for the 2024-25 season, the organization announced.

The CSC Academic All-District Team recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field and in the classroom. To earn CSC Academic All-District distinction, student-athletes must be a sophomore or above in class standing with a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.50 while meeting athletic participation requirements.

In swimming and diving, each men's team and each women's team is limited to four nominations per year.

First-, Second-, and Third-Team Academic All-America honorees will be announced later this month.

On the men's side, Wittenberg is represented by junior Mason Steen (LeRoy, OH/Riverside), who is majoring in biology and boasts a 3.72 GPA. Steen was a point-scorer for the Tigers in several different events throughout the season, highlighted by strong performances in the breaststroke events, the 500-yard freestyle, and the freestyle relays at the 2024 North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) Championships.
