Johnson, Dressel Lead Men's Division I All-Americans

After leading the Texas Longhorns to their thirteenth NCAA Men’s Division I Swimming & Diving Title, Eddie Reese has earned his third-consecutive CSCAA Coach-of-the-Year award.  Reese’s honor was one of four individual awards handed out by the College Swimming Coaches Association of America on Saturday Evening.

Purdue’s Adam Soldati was recognized as the Men’s Diving Coach of the Year for the fifth time in his career.  Florida’s Caeleb Dressel (Green Cove Springs, FL) was voted the CSCAA Swimmer-of-the-Year for the second-straight year.  Last year the Junior shared the award with award with Texas' Joseph Schooling and California's Ryan Murphy.  Dressel captured three individual titles – bringing him to six overall.  Purdue’s Steele Johnson (Carmel, IN) was named Diver-of-the-Year.  Johnson is only the second men’s diver to win the award multiple times, an honor shared with former teammate David Boudia.

The CSCAA also named 229 students to its All-America teams, with 128 earning a spot on the first-team and another 101 being honored as Honorable Mention.  Texas led the way with twelve swimmers earning a spot on the first team, followed by Indiana with eleven.  Dressel, Murphy and NC State’s Ryan Held were the only swimmers to reach the championship heat in all seven events. 

All-Americans were selected on the basis of their finish at the Championships and membership with the CSCAA.  The top eight individuals and relay members in each event earned First-Team recognition while those finishing 9-16th named Honorable Mention (or 2nd Team) All-American.
