The Calvin University women's swimming and diving team placed six student-athletes on the College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) Scholar All-America Team for the 2025-26 season.
 
Ella Andrews (Carmel, Ind./Heritage Christian School), Meghan Bengelink (Holland, Mich./Holland Christian), Emma Merkel (Grandville, Mich./Grandville), Zoe Poe (Bridgeville, Pa./South Fayette Twp.) and Elyse Radawski (Jenison, Mich./Jenison) were named CSCAA First Team Scholar All-Americans, while Madi McNearney (Riverside, Mo./Park Hill South) was named a Second Team Scholar All-American.
 
Bengelink and Merkel each earned the honor for the third straight season, while Poe won the honor for the second straight year. This marks the first CSCAA Scholar All-America award for Andrews, Radawski and McNearney.
 
To qualify for the First Team, student-athletes must have earned a grade point average (GPA) of 3.5 or higher and participated in their respective NCAA/NAIA/NJCAA Swimming and Diving Championships. Second Team selections must have a GPA of 3.5 or higher and also must have posted a 'B' cut qualifying time or participated for a diving zone qualification meet.
 
Earlier this year, Bengelink, Merkel, Poe and Radawski were also named Academic All-District by the College Sports Communicators (CSC).
 
The Calvin women's swimming and diving team also earned a CSCAA Spring Scholar All-America Team honor after posting a team GPA higher than 3.0.
 
During the spring semester, the women's team finished with a 3.47 GPA.
 
The team award is presented twice annually, once after the fall semester/term, and then another following the semester/term of the NCAA/NAIA/NJCAA Swimming and Diving Championships in the winter or spring.
 
The CSCAA (founded in 1922) is the nation's first organization of college coaches, with a mission of advancing the sport of swimming and diving with coaches at the epicenter of leadership, advocacy and professional development.

Calvin women's swimming and diving finished second at the MIAA Swimming and Diving Championships in February and recorded a 39th-place finish at the 2026 NCAA III Swimming and Diving Championships.
