BATON ROUGE — Former LSU swimmer Jane Trepp was named to the 2010-11 Capital One Academic All-District 6 Women’s At-Large Second Team Thursday.
The Capital One Academic All-District Teams, selected by members of the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA), are divided into eight geographic districts across the United States and Canada and recognize the nation’s top student-athletes who excel in both competition and the classroom. The At-Large Teams honor student-athletes in the sports of golf, gymnastics, swimming and diving, tennis, ice hockey, lacrosse, rifle, skiing, water polo, fencing, women’s bowling, women’s crew, women’s field hockey, men’s volleyball and men’s wrestling.
First-team Academic All-District honorees advance to the Capital One Academic All-America Team ballot, where first-, second- and third-team All-America honorees will be selected later this month.
Athletically, Trepp emerged as one of the elite swimmers in the nation and Southeastern Conference this past season, earning NCAA first-team All-America status in all three of her individual events. She also broke the SEC record in the 100-yard breaststroke and became the first LSU women’s swimmer to win a conference championship since 1997.
LSU’s female nominee for the prestigious SEC McWhorter Postgraduate Scholarship, Trepp is also a standout in the classroom with a 3.8 grade point average in psychology. The Tallinn, Estonia, native is on track to earn her bachelor’s degree in December and plans to pursue a postgraduate degree at LSU, while also training to qualify for the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
Trepp is the second women’s athlete from the LSU women’s swimming and diving team in the past five seasons to be acknowledged in CoSIDA’s academic recognition program. Former NCAA All-America diver Hali Saucier was a 2007 Academic All-American.
