Four Cyclones Earn CSCAA Scholar-All America Honors
07.01.2022 | Swimming and Diving
AMES, Iowa – Four members of the Iowa State swimming and diving team were recognized for being outstanding both in competition and in the classroom by the College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA). ISU saw Joscelyn Buss, Martha Haas, Michelle Schlossmacher Smith and Lehr Thorson all named to the Scholar All-America Second Team for the 2021-22 season.
This is the third time both Schlossmacher Smith and Thorson have earned CSCAA Scholar All-America honors, while Buss and Haas are both first-time honorees.
Schlossmacher Smith qualified for the NCAA Zone Diving Championships on all three boards in 2021-22, and had some historic performances along the way. At the Big 12 Championships, she earned her first career All-Big 12 First Team honor with a fourth-place finish and score of 241.75. She also earned Second Team All-Big 12 honors for a second-straight season on 3-meter after a sixth-place effort at the conference championships. In ISU's regular season finale against Kansas, she took down Tien Tran's almost 14-year old school record on 3-meter with a 348.83, and also set her new career-best on 1-meter against the Jayhawks with a 308.93.
Thorson continued to raise the bar for Iowa State in the 100-yard breaststroke, earning her third-straight All-Big 12 first team honor and a bronze medal at the conference championships with a 1:00.57. She also earned All-Big 12 Second Team honors in the 200 breast with a fifth-place effort at the conference championships. Thorson finished her career as a Cyclone as a five-time All-Big 12 honoree in the 200 breast, a first in ISU program history for a student-athlete in an individual event.
Buss qualified for the NCAA Zone Diving Championships on all three boards in 2021-22, entering ISU's all-time top-10 on both platform (seventh, 232.65) and 1-meter (10th, 291.98).
Haas earned All-Big 12 First Team honors in both the 100 and 200 breaststroke with fourth place finishes in each at the conference championships. Her NCAA 'B' Cut time of 2:13.87 in the 200 breast marked the first time a Cyclone achieved a 'B' cut in that race since the 2015-16 season and puts her third in ISU history for the event. Her 1:01.13 in the 100 breast also puts her third in program history.
To earn individual Scholar All-America honors, a student-athletes must have achieved a GPA of 3.50 or higher during the academic year. Athletically, first team members qualified for their respective national championship meets, while second team honorees earned an NCAA 'B' Qualifying mark swimming or divers competed at their respective NCAA Zone Diving Championships.
