121 Make D2 Preseason All-America Team

Golban
Serghei Golban will try to lead Lindenwood to their first Division II title

CollegeSwimming.com announced its 2016-17 Division II Pre-Season All-America selections.  A total of 121 swimmers from thirty-eight instititions were selected for the honor.

Lindenwood University led men's teams with seven selections including three-time NCAA Champion Serghei Golban.  Golban swept the 50 free, 100 free and 100 backstroke at last year's NCAA Division II Championships and was the lone individual to defeat Dion Dreesens at the meet.  Dreesens leads a quartet of Royals on the list.  

Among women's teams the departure of Patricia Castro Ortega opens up opportunities for several stars to emerge.  They include defending champions in the 100 butterfly (Bridgeport's Armony Dumur), 100 breaststroke (UWF's Theresa Michalak) and Drury's Wen Xu (50 freestyle).  

Selections were based on the times of both returning and incoming swimmers (through September 1st) with input from coaches and sports information contacts.
