SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - Utah women's swimming and diving had a program record 22 student-athletes named to the Pac-12 All-Academic Teams, the league office announced today.

The Utes tallied nine first-team members, four second-team honorees and nine honorable-mention nods giving them the most selections of any Pac-12 school, four more than Arizona. Utah's previous high was 18 all-academic selections last season.

First team honorees on the women's side included Amanda Casillas for a third-straight year, Dorien Butter, Hailey Pabst and Maddie Velez for a second-straight season and first-time selections McKenna Gassaway, Jenna Griffith, Gabby Hestwood, Hailey Pabst, Christina Pick, Marah Smith and Maddy Velez.

Stina Colleou was named to the second team for a second-straight season and was joined by Mallori Allen, Madison Cock and Mariah Gassaway.

Shalya Archer, Sydney Bull, Brianna Francis, Lauren Hall, Megan Kawaguchi and Isabella Kearns all received honorable mention status for a second year in a row and were joined by Jordan Anderson, Gillian St. John and Darby Wayner.

To be eligible for selection to the academic team, a student-athlete must have a minimum 3.0 overall grade-point average and participate in at least half of their team's scheduled regular season events.
