Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Colorado Mesa’s Lauren White is the 2022-23 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Women’s Swimming and Diving Academic Athlete of the Year, the league announced Thursday alongside its first-team roster and honor roll list. RMAC All-Academic teams are voted on by the league’s sports information directors. Sports information directors are not permitted to vote for their student-athletes.
 
White earns the league’s Women’s Swimming and Diving Academic Athlete of the Year honor after boosting the Mavericks to their fifth consecutive conference title with a league record 1,325 points in the final women’s standings. As a redshirt junior, White holds a 3.85 grade-point average as a business administration and marketing major. In addition to many accomplishments at the 2023 RMAC Swimming and Diving Championships, White closed the event with a pair of second-place individual finishes while helping the Mavs’ 400-yard freestyle relay team to a conference championship on the final day of action.  
 
Joining White among the league’s first-team roster are five CMU teammates, giving the Mavs a conference-best six honorees. Colorado School of Mines claims a pair of first-team spots, while Oklahoma Christian and Western Colorado round out the first team with one selection each.
