Senior swimmer Andrew Chevalier of Kenyon College and junior swimmer Anastasia Bogdanovski of Johns Hopkins University headline the 2014 Capital One Academic All-America® Division III At-Large Teams, as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
Chevalier and Bogdanovski have been selected as the NCAA Division III Academic All-America® of the Year award winners for the men's and women's at-large programs, respectively.
The Capital One Division III Academic All-America® program is being financially supported by the NCAA Division III national governance structure, to assist CoSIDA with handling the awards fulfillment aspects for the 2013-14 Division III Academic All-America® teams program.
It marks the second straight year that a Kenyon men's swimmer has earned Academic All-American of the Year honors, after Curtis Ramsey earned the honor in 2013. Chevalier is one of four repeat first-team selections on the Capital One Academic All-America® Division III Men's At-Large squad, and one of 10 men to repeat as Academic All-America® honorees.
A chemistry major with a 3.96 G.P.A., Chevalier was a member of Kenyon's NCAA Division III national championship men's swimming and diving squad, earning All-America honors 12 times with 11 top-10 national finishes in his career. At the 2014 national championships, the native of Golden, Colorado, recorded three top-10 finishes, finishing fourth in the 400-yard individual medley, sixth in the 500 freestyle and eighth in the 1,650 freestyle. A 2012 Olympic Trials qualifier, he claimed the 2014 North Coast Athletic Conference title in the 400 IM in a conference-record 3:54.18. Chevalier was a 2014 team captain, Kenyon's Bennett Memorial Award-winner, and an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship recipient.
One of seven first-time selections on this year's Capital One Academic All-America® Division III Women's At-Large First Team, Bogdanovski garners her first-ever accolade. A public health major with a 3.67 G.P.A., Bogdanovski is the 2014 NCAA Swimmer of the Year after winning six of her seven career NCAA championships. A native of Fanwood, New Jersey, Bogdanovski is the 2014 Division III Woman of the Year nominee for swimming & diving for the Collegiate Women Sports Award (CWSA) and the Bluegrass Mountain Conference Swimmer of the Year.
