To earn Team Scholar All-America honors, programs needed to achieve a team grade point average (GPA) of 3.00 or higher during the spring semester. Individual Scholar All-America selections required a GPA of 3.50 or higher. First-Team honorees must have competed at their respective national championships, while Second-Team selections must have met at least a "B" time standard or qualified for a diving zone meet.
Heinio-Widell, a Finance major, was named a CSCAA Scholar All-American for the second straight season. He joins Hayden Koh C'24, who was a First-Team selection in 2022-23 and a Second-Team honoree in 2023-24.
For the third straight season, Heinio-Widell – a junior who is graduating in three years – won all seven of his events (three individual, four relay) and became just the third athlete to win the Landmark Conference Men's Swimmer of the Year award three times, joining Catholic's Gregory McCarthy (2018, 2019, 2020, 2021) and Merchant Marine's Kevin Lindgren (2013, 2014, 2015). Heinio-Widell lowered his own school, meet, and conference record with an NCAA B cut in the 100-butterfly on Saturday, and he helped two different relay teams break meet records as well.
