UW-Milwaukee Swimmer Named Academic All-American

June 22, 2004

Milwaukee - University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee senior Sarah Caldwell has been named to the 2003-04 Academic All-America Women's At Large Team by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).

Caldwell, a biological science major with a 3.986 grade point average, is the first Panther swimmer to be honored as an Academic All-American.

"Sarah's talents and work ethic allowed her be a great representative for UWM both athletically and academically," head coach Dave Clark said. "Being named an Academic All-American is a great way to cap off her career and a great testament to what she accomplished at UWM. Her efforts here as a student-athlete were greatly appreciated by her coaches and her teammates. I know she will go on to accomplish great things in her life."

Caldwell put together a long list of awards while at UWM. She was named to the Horizon League Swimming and Diving All-Academic squad three times while also winning UWM's Athletic Director's Award for having the highest grade point average among Milwaukee student-athletes for the third-straight year.

Caldwell had a strong senior season of swimming for the Panthers, tallying eight top-three finishes and being a part of the 200-yard medley relay team that set a school record.

As a team, the women's swimming and diving team finished the year with a grade point average of 3.089 and was named Academic All-America by the College Swim Coaches Association of America for the 30th-consecutive semester.
