SPRINGFIELD, Mo.– The Drury University men's swimming & diving team had 16 individuals earn 42 All-American awards from the College Swimming & Diving Coaches Association of America.
 
Due to the cancellation of the 2020 NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships, the CSCAA Board adjusted the selection criteria. In contested events at the NCAA-II national championship, the top eight finalists are named to the first team, while the consolation finalists were named Honorable Mention. In events that were not contested, individual and relay qualifiers selected for the championship are named All-American.
 
Aiden Glynn, a senior from Flower Mound, Texas, led the Panthers with six All-American awards, including the 400 Medley Relay, 200 Medley Relay, 400 Free Relay, 200 Free Relay, 100 Back, and the 50 Free as an honorable mention selection.
 
Three other Panthers earned five All-American awards.

2020 is not the first time the association adjusted All-America criteria. The first CSCAA All-America team was published in 1924, thirteen years before the first men's NCAA Swimming and Diving Championship. The first women's All-America team was published in 1975, seven years prior to the first NCAA Women's Swimming and Diving Championship. During much of that time, the team was selected by a panel of coaches. In 1985 the honor was standardized around the NCAA Championships with the top eight finalists receiving first-team recognition and consolation finalists being named honorable mention.
