RALEIGH- The NC State men's and women's swimming and diving teams were honored Wednesday as College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) Scholar All-America Teams for the 2016 fall semester.

A record 638 teams among Division I, II, III, NAIA and NJCAA schools have been named College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) Scholar All-America Teams. The awards are in recognition of teams that achieved a grade point average of 3.0 or higher during the semester.

Part of the reason for the increase in award-winning teams is the overall growth of the sport. The number of men's and women's institutions sponsoring swimming and diving is at a ten-year high. The sport is also enjoying a bump in participation that has traditionally followed Olympic years.

The Wolfpack women posted a 3.31 grade point average in the spring semester while the men earned a 3.01 GPA.
