COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio State women’s swimming team was named an Academic All-American Honor Team by the College Swim Coaches Association of America for its 3.14 team grade point average. Additionally, two swimmers, Gulsah Gunenc (Jr., Edirne, Turkey/ Edirne Anatolian) and Griet Buelens (So., Kapelle-Op-Den-Bos, Belgium/ Ursulinen Mechelen), earned individual honors.
To receive CSCAA Academic All-American status, swimmers must earn a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or better and also qualify for the NCAA championships. Gunenc qualified for the meet in the 100- and 200-yard butterfly events, where she recorded the team’s highest finish since 1995.
