TicketsCINCINNATI - University of Cincinnati swimmer and recent graduate Din Selmanovic was named a College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-District First Team At-Large honoree, as announced by the organization Thursday.
The award is another in a long list for Selmanovic. Most recently, he received the 2020 Presidential Leadership Medal of Excellence and was given the Jimmy Nippert Award at the 2020 One Team Honors. He also earned the Nancy Hamant Scholar-Athlete Award for the department.
Selmanovic graduated this spring with a cumulative GPA of 3.826 with a degree in neuroscience. He was nominated this past fall for the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship. In the pool, Selmanovic broke numerous school records during his four-year career and ends with his name atop the 500 freestyle and 800 freestyle relay UC leader board. He was the 2019 American Athletic Conference Most Outstanding Male Swimmer after leading the Bearcats to their second straight AAC Championship. Selmanovic was the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee president and a team captain his senior year.
This is the swimming and diving program's first CoSIDA honoree since Connor Davis also earned all-district honors in 2017. Selmanovic will now be eligible for CoSIDA Academic All-America distinction, announced in June.
