Juniors Becky Shaak, Matt Perry, and Sam Gardner were recognized by the College Swimming Coaches Association of America for their academic and athletic accomplishments in 2012. The Forester women's swimming & diving team also earned accolades for their performance in the classroom.
Shaak earned CSCAA Scholar All-America honors by posting at least a 3.50 grade point average in the spring and competing in the NCAA Division III Championships. She placed 15th in the 400-IM in her third straight appearance at the national meet.
Perry and Gardner were named Honorable Mention Scholar All-America after recording a GPA of 3.50 and posting diving scores that made them eligible for selection to the national meet. However, they were not chosen to compete in the NCAA Championships.
The 21 members of the Lake Forest College women's swimming and diving team combined for a 3.22 grade point average in the spring to earn Scholar All-America honors as a team. The squad also received the honor in the fall with a grade point average of 3.26.
