Morningside College’s women’s swimming team achieved Scholar All-American status for the 2012 fall semester from the College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA).
The CSCAA presents the award to college and university swimming & diving teams that achieve a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher.
The Mustangs’ head coach is Bryan Farris.
Ben Kurz, a freshman from Council Bluffs, Iowa, had the Mustangs’ top individual finish at the 2013 NAIA Swimming & Diving National Championships in Oklahoma City, Okla., when he placed seventh in the men’s 1650-yard freestyle on March 2.
Kurz swam a school-record time of 16:31.19 to shatter the former Morningside record of 16:34.35 set by Scott Anderson in 2008. The seventh place effort was the top finish by a Morningside male swimmer at the NAIA National Championships since Anderson placed sixth in the 200-yard backstroke in 2008.
Krystal Carlson, a senior from Richfield, Minn., had the top finish for the Morningside women when she placed eighth in the women’s 1650-yard freestyle with a time of 18:07.20.
