“I’m so proud of our teams efforts over the course of the 2023-24 academic year. They have embodied what it means to take great care of their academic success. It’s gratifying to see so many of them earn this prestigious honor knowing how much they’ve sacrificed to get to this point,” stated Head Coach Ben Hewitt. They represent all that is great about being a student-athlete and have shown just how committed our NSU Sharks are to being standouts in and out of the pool.
