(June 14) Two members of the Emory University swimming and diving team have been named to the CoSIDA Academic All-America team. Diver John Sutter made the second team and swimmer Brandon Burke the third team.

This is the first Academic All-America honor for either person. Both were chosen for the Academic All-District first team last month.

Sutter and Burke are among 15 swimmers and divers nationwide from NCAA Division II and III, and NAIA schools to be honored on the team for at-large sports, which consists of fencing, golf, gymnastics, ice hockey, lacrosse, rifle, skiing, swimming and diving, tennis, volleyball, water polo and wrestling.

Emory is one of two schools, but the only Division III school, to have two swimmers and divers honored. Also selected from Emory was tennis player Jesse Ferlianto, making Emory the only school with three honorees overall.

Sutter is one of two divers to be honored on the Academic All-America first, second or third team. The senior had a 3.82 cumulative GPA with a co-major in international studies and journalism. He earned diving All-America status on the one-meter and three-meter boards at the NCAA championships this spring, the second Emory diver ever to do so in the same year.

Burke had a 3.82 cumulative grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) as a business administration major. The junior is a six-time swimming All-American, all in individual events. Last spring, he attained All-America status in three individual events at the NCAA Division III national championships, the fourth Emory person ever to achieve the feat.

Sutter and Burke are the ninth and 10th members of the Emory swimming and diving team ever to make the Academic All-America team. Nine of those selections have come since 1998.

Voting for the Academic All-America team is conducted by a national committee of members of the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). The Academic All-America program is sponsored by ESPN The Magazine. To be eligible, a nominee must be at least a sophomore with a 3.2 GPA and a starter or key reserve on their team.


(May 26) Two members of the Emory University swimming and diving team have been named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District first team. Brandon Burke and John Sutter will have their names placed on the national ballot for the Academic All-America team to be announced in June.

Also selected from Emory was tennis player Jesse Ferlianto, making Emory the only school with three honorees.

Burke had a 3.82 cumulative grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) as a business administration major. The junior is a six-time swimming All-American, all in individual events. Last spring, he attained All-America status in three individual events at the NCAA Division III national championships, the fourth Emory person ever to achieve the feat.

Sutter, a senior, had a 3.82 cumulative GPA with a co-major in international studies and journalism. He earned diving All-America status on the one-meter and three-meter boards at the NCAA championships this spring, the second Emory diver ever to do so in the same year.

This is the first time Burke and Sutter have made the Academic All-District team. They are the 10th and 11th members of the Emory swimming and diving team to be so honored since 1997.

Voting for the Academic All-District team is conducted by the members of the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) in the states of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. To be eligible, a nominee must be at least a sophomore with a 3.2 GPA and a starter or key reserve on their team.

(March 31) The Emory University men's and women's swimming and diving squads have been recognized as All-Academic Teams by the College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) based on team GPAs for the Fall 2004 semester.

The men's team had a 3.43 grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) last fall, which was the highest in the nation among NCAA Division III men's swimming and diving programs, and the second highest in the nation among all divisions. The Emory men were one of three Division III teams to finish among the top 10 in the nation in both GPA and at the NCAA swimming and diving national championships. The Eagles were second at the 2005 NCAA men's championships.

The women's squad amassed a 3.47 GPA last semester, the 10th highest in the nation among NCAA Division III schools. Emory was one of two Division III women's teams to finish in the top 10 nationally in both GPA and at the NCAA national swimming and diving championships. The women won the 2005 NCAA national meet.

To be honored, a team must have at least a 2.80 GPA for a semester.


(March 19) Emory University finished in second place at the NCAA Division III national championships. This is the second consecutive year the Eagles have been the national runner-up, a first in school history. This is the sixth year in a row that Emory has finished in the top three at the national meet.

Emory finished behind Kenyon College (Ohio), winner of 26 straight NCAA national team championships.

Emory senior Chris Halstead successfully defended his national title in the 200-yard backstroke on the final night of competition. His was one of six All-America performances Saturday, five of them in individual events and one in a relay event.

Halstead is the second Eagle to repeat as national champion. Chris Radpour did so in the one-meter diving event (1989-90). Halstead and Radpour account for all five individual national championships in school history. [Radpour also won the national title in three-meter diving in 1990.]

Halstead's winning time of one minute and 48.98 seconds is the fourth fastest in school history behind three of his own times. He now holds all 10 of the top 10 times in the Emory record book in this event.

With three individual All-America certificates in this meet, Halstead becomes the first Eagle ever to do so at more than one NCAA championship meet. He was second in the 200-yard individual medley Thursday, third in the 100-yard backstroke Friday, and won the 200 backstroke Saturday.

Halstead also was a three-time All-American in individual events at last year's NCAA meet. The only other Eagles ever to do it once are Jeff Klug (2000), Richard Kinnett (2004) and Brandon Burke (2005).

Halstead set a school record with six total All-America certificates in this meet, three individual and three relays. He swam a leg on the 400 medley relay, 200 medley relay, and 800 free relay, all of which attained All-America recognition.

Halstead finishes his career with 14 All-America certificates, second highest in school history behind Jeff Klug (1999-03), who amassed 16 of them.

Junior Brandon Burke finished third in the 200 backstroke making it the fourth straight year that at least two Emory swimmers attained All-America honors in this event. This is Burke's third All-America citation in this event after finishing fourth in 2003 and eighth last year.

Burke is the fourth Emory swimmer to earn All-America honors in three individual events in one year. [The other three are listed above.]

In another first, Emory divers Michael Klein and John Sutter attained All-America status in the three-meter diving event. This is the first time two Eagles have done so in this event in the same year.

Klein, a junior, finished fifth and Sutter, a senior, seventh. This is the first time either has made All-America in this event. For Klein, this is the first All-America honor of his career. For Sutter, it is his second after picking up one on the one-meter board on Thursday.

Sutter joins Chris Radpour (1988-89-90) as the only Emory divers to be an All-American on both boards in the same year. Radpour also is the only Emory diver to be an All-American on the three-meter board prior to tonight.

Klein's score of 443.35 points is the sixth best in school history. Sutter's score of 414.20 is the eight best.

Freshman Nick Lake garnered All-America recognition with an eighth-place finish in the 1,650-yard freestyle (also known as the mile). He is the fifth Eagle ever to become an All-American in this event, and the fourth to do so as a freshman. He joins Eric Caines (1999), Richard Kinnett (2001), and Ted Hamilton (2004) in that latter group.

Lake's time of 15:59.80 makes him the fifth-fastest individual in school history in the mile.

In the final event of the evening and the meet, Emory claimed eighth place in the 400-yard freestyle relay for another All-America citation. The quartet of sophomore Andrew Callam, senior Christopher Press, junior Justin Hake and senior Jimmy McGee was timed in 3:06.29, the fifth fastest in Emory history. Their time in the preliminaries, 3:06.38, is the sixth best ever at Emory.

Hake picked up the 13th All-America certificate of his career, putting him third on the school's all-time list, one ahead of Brian Seymour (2000-04), one behind Halstead for second place and three behind Klug for first place.

For the meet, Emory had 13 All-America performances in individual events. Five were by seniors, five by juniors, two by sophomores and one was by a freshman. The Eagles attained All-America status in all five relay events.


(March 18) Emory University remains in second place after Friday's competition at the NCAA Division III national championships. The Eagles are aiming to repeat their second-place finish of last year, which would be a first in school history.

The highlight was Emory winning its first-ever national championship in any relay event when it took first place in the 200-yard medley relay. The Eagles' previous highest finish in the event was fourth last year. This is the seventh consecutive year that Emory has attained All-America status in this event.

The national champion quartet of Chris Halstead, Stefan Mianowski, Justin Hake and Christopher Press broke the school record in the 200 medley relay with a time of one minute and 32.02 seconds. Halstead and Hake were members of the previous record-setting unit at the 2003 NCAA meet along with Jeff Klug and David Hiller.

The Eagles also earned All-America honors in the 800-yard freestyle relay with a sixth-place finish and the fourth-fastest time in school history (6:51.37). This is the sixth consecutive year that Emory has received All-America recognition in this event. Members of the relay team were Halstead, Tim Newton, Press and Daniel Weissman.

There were four individual All-America performances for Emory on the second day of the three-day meet. Halstead was third in the 100-yard backstroke, Hake was fourth in the 100-yard butterfly, and Tim Newton and Brandon Burke were sixth and seventh, respectively, in the 400-yard individual medley.

This is the second year in a row that Halstead has garnered All-America honors in the 100 backstroke. He is the fourth Eagle ever to do so, joining Peter Hosmer (1995-96), Jacki Lin (1996-97), and Jeff Klug (2002-03). Hosmer's second-pace finish in 1995 is the highest ever in this event.

Halstead's 100 back time of 50.31 seconds in the preliminaries broke his own school record set at the NCAA championships last year. His time in the finals, 50.69, is the third-fastest ever in the Emory record book. Halstead now owns the four fastest times in school history and seven of the top 10 times.

Hake becomes Emory's first three-time All-American in the 100 butterfly. He was eighth at the NCAA meet in 2003, and third last year. The only other two-time All-American in school history for this event is Lin (1996-97).

This is Newton's first All-America certificate in the 400 individual medley and the second for Burke who was eighth in 2003.

This marks the second time in Emory history that two swimmers picked up All-America recognition in this event in the same year. The first was Burke and Richard Kinnett in 2003. It is the sixth consecutive year that an Eagle has been cited as an All-American in this event.

This completes an All-America sweep for Burke in the individual medley events. He was eighth in the 200 IM on Thursday night. This makes Burke the seventh Eagle ever to garner multiple All-America honors in individual events at more than one NCAA national meet.

Halstead is the eighth Eagle ever to garner multiple All-America honors in individual events at more than one NCAA meet. On Saturday, he has a chance in the 200-yard backstroke to become the first Emory swimmer ever with three individual All-America citations at more than one NCAA meet.

Halstead's career total stands at 13 All-America certificates, putting him second on the school's all-time list, three behind Klug (1999-03). In third place is Burke now with 12, tying him with Brian Seymour (2000-04).

Senior Chris Halstead was the national runner-up in the 200-yard individual medley. This is the highest finish ever by an Eagle in this event, the previous best being Halstead's fifth-place showing a year ago. This is the second consecutive year Halstead has attained All-America status in this event after finishing fifth last year.

Halstead's 200 IM time of on minute and 51.31 seconds is the second fastest in school history behind his own record set last season at the NCAA championships.

Junior Brandon Burke also garnered All-America honors in the 200 IM with an eighth-place finish. This is the first time two Emory swimmers have earned All-America recognition in this event in the same year.

Sophomore Tim Newton shattered a school record on the way to placing third in the 500-yard freestyle event. Newton's showing is the highest finish ever by an Eagle in this event, surpassing his own fourth-place finish last year and first achieved by Eric Caines (2000).

Newton's time of 4:29.79 is more than three seconds faster than the record set last year by Dan Weissman at the NCAA meet.

Newton's is the seventh All-America performance in school history in the 500 freestyle dating back to Chip Villarreal (1994).

Senior John Sutter became the third Emory diver ever to earn an All-America citation after finishing fifth on the one-meter board. Sutter earned the eighth and final spot for the evening finals where he had the third-highest set of scores resulting in his overall fifth-place finish.

This is the second time Sutter has competed in the national championships. Last year he finished ninth in this event, missing All-America honors and the finals by one spot.

Sutter joins past Emory one-meter diving All-Americans Chris Radpour (1988-90), who did it three times including two national championships, and Mark Hilzley (1989).

For Halstead, this was the 10th All-America citation of his career, putting him third on the school's all-time list, one ahead of Tom Shane (1999-02). Halstead needs two more certificates to tie Brian Seymour (2000-04) for second place with 12.

Emory also placed third in the 200-yard freestyle relay, attaining All-America honors in the event for the fifth time ever, all since 2000.
