DMV Swimmers Earn NISCA All America Awards
By: Reach for the Wall Staff
The National Interscholastic Swim Coaches Association (NISCA) has released its high school All America lists for the 2017-2018 season. NISCA is a professional organization that supports High School coaches of all aquatic sports. They are dedicated to coaches education and athlete recognition through the All America programs. NISCA allows opportunities for coaches to network and exchange knowledge and experience.
NISCA has “Automatic” standards and “Consideration” standards. In the end, the top 100 athletes in each event will be recognized as All-Americans. The only way for an athlete to be recognized is for their coach to submit an application. If you didn’t make the list for 2017-2018, here’s the goal time for next season:
Below is a list of athletes from the DMV who have been named for the 2017-2018 season. Congratulations to all these athletes!
