Greenwood, Ind. - After landing All-American honors in the 200 back at NCAA Nationals and a College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District nod, sophomore
Amelia Marsicek (Centennial. Col./Regis Jesuit) added to her trophy case as she landed CSC Second Team Academic All-American accolades for her efforts in the pool and in the classroom.
Marsicek is the first Lewis University women's swimmer to earn CSC Academic All-American accolades in program history. The Centennial, Colorado, native boasts a 3.93 GPA while majoring in aviation flight technology. Within the Great Lakes Valley Conference, she joins Celina Schmidt (UIndy) and Maria Fe Munoz (Drury) as the only three female swimmers to earn All-American distinction. Within the entirety of Division II women's swimming, Marsicek is just one of 24 Division II women's swimmers to earn CSC Academic All-American accolades.
"I am extremely proud of Amelia for achieving this accomplishment" head men's and women's swimming coach Ian Disteldorf said. "This is one of the many accolades that showcase her determination and hard work all year long not only in the pool but the classroom. She is a pleasure to coach and a great representation of what it means to be an Academic All-American."
In the pool, Marsicek had a season to remember as she finished in fourth place at the NCAA Division II Swimming and Diving Championship 200 back A-Final, setting a school record with her 1:58.33 time. Earlier in the weekend at nationals, she earned a 14th place finish in the 100 back, posting a program record time of 55.58. At the 2026 Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) Swimming and Diving Championships, the Colorado native placed third in the 200 back (2:00.68) A-Final to earn All-GLVC honors. Marsicek also set a then Lewis record in the 100 back with a 55.92 time at the GLVC Swimming and Diving Championships.
Marsicek is the first Lewis University athlete during the 2025-26 athletic season to earn CSC Academic All-American honors. She is the first member of the Flyers to earn the honor since Mikey Kocen (Baseball) garnered the honor at the end of the 2024-25 athletic season.
