2021 CSCAA Division III Scholar All-America Teams
 
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Recent graduate Oliver Yancey (Wallingford, Pa./Strath Haven) and rising senior Sam Nonemaker (Shippensburg, Pa./Shippensburg) from the Gettysburg College men's swimming team were named to the College Swimming & Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) Division III Scholar All-America Team.
 
First-team honorees were student-athletes who achieved a grade-point average of 3.50 or higher and were invited to compete at the national championship. Due to the cancellation of the Division III and NAIA championships, the CSCAA established time standards for qualification based on a standard deviation of previous national championship participation.
 
Both Yancey and Nonemaker were first-team honorees after cruising past the GPA standard and earning first-team All-America status this season.
 
Yancey clocked the second-fastest time in Division III in the 50 free this season. His time of 20.20 to kick off the 200 free relay trailed only Calvin College's Noah Holstege (19.78) for the top time in the country and was the second-fastest in program history. Yancey turned in a breakout campaign as a junior, grabbing All-Centennial Conference recognition in five events, including silver medals in the 50 free and 100 breast. An environmental studies major, he finished among the program's top 10 in the 50 free (2nd, 20.20), 100 free (6th, 45.49), 200 IM (10th, 1:57.21), 400 IM (5th, 4:12.20), 100 breast (2nd, 57.37), and 200 breast (2nd, 2:09.05).
 
Yancey joined Nonemaker with All-America honors as members of the 200 and 400 free relays. The 200 free relay logged the sixth-fastest time in the country this year at 1:21.58, while the 400 free relay ranked seventh at 3:03.24. Nonemaker's split of 45.45 as the third leg of the 400 free relay helped Gettysburg track down and beat Johns Hopkins University in a dual meet this past April. Heading into his senior year, the mathematical economics major ranks among the program's top five in the 200 IM (2nd, 1:52.64), 100 fly (4th, 50.83), and 100 breast (4th, 58.17).
 
 
In addition to individual accolades, both men's and women's programs were named Scholar All-America Teams recently. The men's team posted a collective cumulative GPA of 3.32 during the spring to earn the award for the 13th time in 14 semesters. The women posted a GPA of 3.45 to earn academic team laurels for the 14th-straight semester.
 
In two seasons at the helm, Head Coach Greg Brown has coached eight All-Americans and seven Scholar All-Americans. The 2020 CC Women's Coach of the Year, Brown led the women's program to the conference title in 2020, while the men's program was the league runner-up. The Bullets only competed in a dual against Johns Hopkins due to the pandemic in 2020-21.
