UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS – A trio of smart swimmers are among the nation's best and brightest. 

Three members of JCU Men's Swimming & Diving have garnered Scholar All-American status from the College Swimming & Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA). 

Bart Kubis, Cameron Cook, and Jacob Florio are among the 2,230 swimmers and divers to make the CSCAA's Scholar All-American Team. Each of the three Blue Streaks snagged First Team recognition.
