DAVIDSON, N.C. — After making her second straight appearance at the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships in February, senior Lindsey Martin has been named to the CollegeSwimming.com Mid-Major All-America Team for a second straight season. Senior Emily Castle, junior Curtis Chaney, sophomore Drew Onken and junior Geoffrey Peitz were named Mid-Major All-American Honorable Mention.
“Having five team members recognized as standing out among their peers is an exceptional honor for our team,” head coach John Young said. “Growth in our number of CollegeSwimming.com All-Americans, especially among upperclassmen, is a noteworthy reflection of the progress that many of our athletes have enjoyed. I couldn't be more proud of Lindsey, Emily, Curtis, Drew and Geoff. Their accomplishments are a great credit to themselves, to their teammates and to Davidson College.”
Martin earned the honor along with 18 others based on her qualification for the 2011 NCAA Division I Championships. She competed for the Wildcats in the 50 and 100 freestyles, and will graduate as the College's record holder in the 50, 100 and 200 freestyles and as a member of all five school-record holding relay teams. Martin was named CCSA Women's Most Outstanding Swimmer for a second straight season at the league championships in February. She was also named CCSA Women's Most Outstanding Swimmer of the Year.

An additional 118 male and 161 female swimmers were awarded Honorable Mention status, including Castle, Chaney, Onken and Peitz.

Ohio University and Princeton University each had nine women's Honorable Mention selections while Denver's men's team boasted 13.
Castle is a three-time conference champion and the school record-holder in the 100 butterfly, and Chaney (200 and 500 freestyles), Onken (200 breaststroke and 400 IM), and Peitz (100 and 200 backstroke, 100 and 200 butterfly, 200 IM) all hold multiple Davidson College records.
