NCAC SCHOLAR ATHLETES ‼️📚

The North Coast Athletic Conference released the Dr. Gordon Collins Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll a few weeks ago, and SEVEN of our athletes across both the men’s and women’s team received this honor!

Congratulations to these hardworking tigers! 🐅

SENIOR SPOTLIGHT 🏊🏻‍♀️🎓

Our first graduating senior we would like to highlight is Shania Stone.

Shania is primarily a sprint freestyler a third-year member of our team and was a captain this season. She treats her teammates with the utmost love and care, and truly embodies what it means for a team to be a second family. Her trademark TLC has become both a daily practice and team circle staple! ❤️

Shania has been a high achiever both in and out of the pool even before she joined us her sophomore year. She was a member of the Wittenberg Water Polo team, but has been swimming since she was 5. Shania currently holds our 50 freestyle (x2) and 100 individual medley records, and ranks among the top in program history in both the 100 breaststroke and 100 freestyle. She also was named the 2026 NCAC Scholar-Athlete, the first female swimmer to receive this honor in almost three decades.

Shania is a member of numerous honors societies, including the University Honors Program, Psi Chi, Chi Alpha Sigma, Tri-Alpha, Omicron Delta Kappa, and Alpha Phi Omega. She is also a member of Sigma Kappa sorority.

Shania will be graduating with honors in Psychology in May! We wish you all the best in your next chapter, and will be cheering you on from Springfield! 🐯
