PA Student Honored
Former Penn State swimmer and current Arcadia University
PA student Molly Crispell has been nominated for
ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America honors.
Crispell earns her second straight selection to the Academic All-District first team after completing her college career this spring with a perfect 4.0 grade point average while majoring in bio-behavioral health. She is an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship recipient and was also the recipient of the Wayne Duke Postgraduate Award given out by the Big Ten Conference. A four-time CSCAA All-Academic selection, she was also the recipient of the Ernest B. McCoy Memorial Award, which is given to the top senior student-athlete, one male and one female, at Penn State. A three-time academic All-Big Ten selection, she was a second team Academic All-American last year and with her selection to the All-District first team this year, will once again be on the ballot for the Academic All-American teams. In the pool, Crispell was a four-time scorer at the Big Ten Championships and a two-time qualifier for the NCAA Championships during her career. She was also a two-time honorable mention All-American as a part of the 800 freestyle relay team. She ended her career ranked sixth all-time at Penn State in the 200 freestyle. This year, the 800 free relay team, which she was a part of, ranked in the top 16 in the country. Crispell, who graduated from Penn State last weekend, has already begun graduate school at Arcadia University in suburban Philadelphia to pursue her physician's assistant degree.
