2021 Swimming & Diving Scholar-Athlete (
PDF)
The Missouri Valley Conference announces the 2021 Swimming and Diving Scholar-Athlete Team following the completion of the 2020-21 conference season, and Missouri State's Anna Miller highlights the team as the Scholar-Athlete of the Year. The Scholar-Athlete of the Year award was introduced across Valley sports prior to the 2019-20 season.
Scholar-Athlete honors require athletes to have completed at least one year and maintain either a 3.3 grade-point average and obtain all-conference honors, achieve a 3.5 grade-point average and finish top-16 in an individual event at the conference championships, or maintain a 3.8 grade-point average and participate in the MVC championship (including non-scorers).
The Missouri Valley Conference had an outstanding 63 student-athletes on the scholar-athlete team this season for swimming and diving. In the 2020-21 season, eight of these scholar-athletes had a perfect 4.00 GPA. During the 2021 Swimming and Diving Championships, the league recognized Illinois State's Emily Keebler as the Elite 17 Award winner.
