WASHINGTON — Davidson senior swimmer Dylan Felt has been awarded an Atlantic 10 Conference Postgraduate Scholarship, the league announced Thursday afternoon.
The A-10 honors one senior athlete from each of the 14 member schools each academic year.
"I would like to congratulate our outstanding group of student-athletes," said A-10 Commissioner Dan Leibovitz. "Each recipient of our postgraduate scholarship has demonstrated excellence both in competition and in the classroom. As part of our ongoing commitment to supporting student-athletes, the Atlantic 10 is proud to assist with their postgraduate studies. We look forward to following the future successes of these 14 deserving honorees."
Felt, of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., completed his career with 15 A-10 medals, including nine golds, and with his name on three A-10 freestyle records. The league record holder in the 200, 500 and 1,650, Felt improved on his 200 (1:32.94) and 500 (4:16.15) marks in March during the 2026 NCAA Championships at Georgia Tech.
Felt is a two-time A-10 Most Outstanding Performer (2023, 2024) and also earned top rookie honors 2023. He won four straight titles in the 500 free, while earning three golds in the 1,650 and two in the 200. A biology major, Felt also competed in four events at the 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials in Indianapolis.
Felt is one of only four Wildcats to ever swim at the NCAAs, joining Lindsey Martin (2010, 2011), Drew Onken (2012) and Elise Lankiewicz (2017).
To be considered for the postgraduate scholarship, student-athletes must have performed with distinction both in the classroom and in their respective sports throughout their careers while demonstrating exemplary conduct in the community.
