BERKELEY – Graduate student Bjorn Seeliger of the California men's swimming & diving team has earned Academic All-American Second Team recognition, as announced by the College Sports Communicators (CSC) on Wednesday.
 
Seeliger, studying business administration with a 3.73 cumulative grade point average, becomes the second Golden Bear in program history to earn CSC Academic All-American honors for a third time, joining former Bear Ryan Murphy (2014-17). Seeliger is also a two-time CSCAA Scholar All-American and Pac-12 Winter Academic All-American, and was named to the CSC Academic All-District Team.
 
Seeliger is a 32-time All-American, 12-time Pac-12 champion and three-time ACC champion.
