AUSTIN, Texas – For a second year in a row, a member of the Florida Southern College men's swimming team was named the College Sports Communicators Academic All-America Team Member of the Year as Kyle Micallef was selected as the 2024 winner. In addition to Micallef's honor, three additional Moccasins were named to the CSC Academic All-America Teams.
 
Micallef earned First Team honors and was named the Team Member of the Year, with Ludwig Mueller and Brandon Wilson selected to the Second Team, and Cameron Lai-Harris to the Third Team. Only in its second year in existence, FSC's Matteo Zampese was honored as the 2022-23 Men's Swimming CSC Academica All-America Team Member of the Year.
 
Micallef, a senior sprinter majoring in accounting, earned his second consecutive All-America honor after an incredible career for the Moccasins, capped by an NCAA National Championship in the 50 free last month. A 22-time All-American, Micallef had a stellar season and career full of record-breaking performances, a national championship, relay and individual conference titles, and continued academic success. The Australian native has previously been awarded the CSC Academic All-District, CSCAA Scholar All-America First Team, the D2 ADA Academic Achievement Award, and the SSC Commissioner's Honor Roll.
 
 
Mueller also repeats as a CSC Academic All-America Team winner as a senior majoring in Computer Science: AI & Machine Learning. Mueller was awarded the NCAA Elite 90 Award last year as the highest GPA for men's swimming competing in the national championship for the 2022-23 season. A multi-time All-American, Mueller has excelled in the pool with NCAA appearances in the breaststroke and relay swimmer on a number of FSC records. The German native has also been awarded the CSCAA Scholar All-America First Team, CSC Academic All-District First Team, and the SSC Commissioner's Honor Roll.
 
Wilson earned his first CSC Academic All-America nod as a junior majoring in Computer Science. Wilson is an 11-time All-American, previously as a relay participant, and this season with consolation final wins in the 50 free and 100 back. The Baltimore, Maryland native has previously been awarded the SSC Commissioner's Honor Roll and recently earned his first SSC individual championship after winning the 100 back in February.
 
Lai-Harris rounds out the FSC accolades as a senior pursuing a degree in computer science with an emphasis in cybersecurity as a three-year member of the program. His first CSC All-America award, Lai-Harris has previously been awarded the SSC Commissioner's Honor Roll two times. In the pool, the Sterling, Virginia native is a six-time All-American appearing at the NCAA finals two years in a row as a relay participant. Competing in both free relay events and the butterfly as an individual and in medley relays, Lai-Harris is part of many program records.
