MARQUETTE, Mich. – The College Swimming Coaches Association of America has announced its Individual Scholar All-American awards for the 2012 spring semester. Northern Michigan University has five swimmers on the list.

Three freshmen entered the list with a 4.0 GPA, Emily Bourguignon, Emily Brennan and Jordan Iverson. Freshmen Deborah Lawrence and Madisen Sechena were also awarded Scholar All-American status.

“I’m very proud of my team,” NMU head coach Heidi Voigt said. “They’ve really worked hard to be great students along with fantastic swimmers. It’s great to see the freshmen step up and lead the way in the classroom.”

NMU received the Team Scholar All-American Award earlier in the year from the CSCAA after having a 3.25 cumulative GPA in the fall.
