AUDREY LEE, NATHAN LEE, and DANE WEBER MAKE USA SWIMMING SCHOLASTIC ALL-AMERICAN LIST

Stephen Pickell

Congratulations to Dane Weber, Audrey Lee, and Nathan Lee for making the 2024 USA Swimming Scholastic All-American List.

 

To qualify for the team, pool swimmers must have a minimum 3.5 unweighted GPA for the current academic year (A = 4, B = 3, C = 2), with honors, advanced placement, IB, PLTW, and dual credit college-level courses receiving .2 extra bonus points. Grades below C mean automatic disqualification.

 

Only grades for academic subjects are used in calculating the award—history/social studies, English, mathematics, sciences, foreign languages, computer sciences, and visual and performing arts if indicated as academic. Ironically, this means that in states where students can receive a grade for being on the swim team (like Texas), a student’s grade in swimming doesn’t count toward the calculation.

 

In the pool, applicants must have swum an individual pool time equal to or faster than the 2023 Winter Junior National qualifying time in any individual event during the SAA qualifying period (Sep 1, 2023-Aug 31, 2024, dates inclusive) with the qualifying times in SWIMS.
