Weedsport High School Seniors Earn Prestigious 2023-24 Academic All-America Distinction in Aquatic Sports

The National Interscholastic Swim Coaches Association (NISCA) has awarded two Weedsport Central School District (CSD) students, Jasmine Nguyen and Brayden Mitchell, with the 2023-2024 Academic All-America distinction. Both are high school seniors who have excelled academically and in swimming.

To earn the NISCA Academic All-America distinction, students must meet strict criteria. They must be graduating seniors with a minimum GPA of 3.750 or 93.7500% equivalent grade average, and have lettered in their high school swimming, diving, or water polo program. Nguyen and Mitchell fulfilled these requirements, demonstrating their commitment to their sport and studies.

Jill King, the Weedsport CSD swimming and diving coach, commended the students for their achievements. She noted their enthusiasm for the sport and their ability to achieve ambitious goals. Nguyen and Mitchell also played a key role in the team's strong performance at sectionals.

NISCA is a professional organization that supports high school coaches of all aquatic sports. It is dedicated to coaches’ education and athlete recognition through the All-America programs. The organization also facilitates networking and knowledge sharing among coaches.

Out of over 353,936 students participating in high school aquatic programs nationwide, only about 2% receive the high school All-America recognition. This underscores the significant achievements of Nguyen and Mitchell. The complete list of NISCA's All-America honorees is available on the organization's website.
