YPSILANTI, Mich.

Four Eagles between Eastern Michigan University's men's and women's swimming and diving programs were awarded the Honorable Mention Scholar All-America honor, as Lauren Dark (Chelsea, Mich.-Chelsea), Monica Dorszewski (Palatine, Ill.-Palatine), Andrew Henry (Garner, N.C.-West Johnston), and Danielle Hulvey (Pickerington, Ohio-Central) were named to the respective teams.
The Honorable Mention Scholar All-America award is presented to college and university swimmers and divers who have achieved a grade point average of 3.5 or higher for the semester, or cumulative average, and have achieved a "B" time standard but did not qualify or compete in their respective national championship. Divers qualify by competing at their respective championship qualifying meets, zones or NCAA preliminary rounds.
Dark finished in the top-four in either the 1 or 3-meter dive in eight meets, claiming a victory on the 1-meter twice and the 3-meter on three occasions. Her high score on the 1-meter springboard came in a victory against Northwestern University and the University of Illinois, where she amassed 294.15 points.
