AUSTIN, Texas - Four Florida Southern College swimmers were named to the 2024-25 Academic All-America® men's swimming & diving teams as selected by College Sports Communicators.
Florida Southern's student-athletes selected were
Nino Viallon to the First Team,
Peter Csicsaky to the Second Team, and
Brandon Wilson to the Third Team. This is Wilson's second consecutive CSC Academic All-America honor, and the first Academic AA recognition for Csicsaky and Viallon. FSC men's swimming now has 11 individual swimmers who were selected as Academic All-America.
Csicsaky earned his first Academic All-America recognition, fresh off an All-SSC First Team honor, leading the Mocs in four different events during the 2024-25 season. He is the team leader in the 200 free (1:38.88), 500 free (4:26.67), 1000 free (9:13.89), and 1650 free (15:40.11), all B cut times this year. The sophomore from Budapest, Hungary, earned Honorable Mention All-America status in the 500 free and 1650 free events, placing in the top 16 of all DII swimmers. At the SSC Championships, Csicsaky finished fifth in the 500 free, fifth in the 1000 free, and third in the 1650 free.
Viallon also earned his first Academic All-America recognition after a big 2024-25 season. Viallon earned his first All-SSC recognition (Third Team) after a key figure in the 100 fly, later breaking that event's record at the NCAA Championships. The junior from La Wantzenau, France, finished with an Honorable Mention All-America status in the 50 free and All-America in the 200 medley relay, 100 fly, 400 medley relay, and 400 free relay. The 400 MR was a new FSC and SSC record.
Wilson was selected to his second Academic All-America team, leading the Mocs with five All-American honors at this year's NCAA Championships. He placed third in the 100 back at NCAA's, breaking a nine-year program record. He also helped set a new 400 MR program and SSC record. A senior from Baltimore, Maryland, Wilson also had AA status in the 50 free, 200 MR, and 400 FR. At the SSC Championships, Wilson defended his 100 backstroke title, his second-straight individual championship.
