USA Swimming today released the roster for its 2010-2011 Scholastic All-America Team. 

The Scholastic All-America Team recognizes USA Swimming members who excel both in the classroom and in the pool.

Highlighting this year’s roster is Eva Fabian (Keene, N.H.).  Fabian was the only perfect score on the 2010-2011 list as she had both a 4.0 GPA and earned the National Title in the 2011 women's 10K Open Water swim. Fabian is also the first high-school student to earn a National Championship in a USA Swimming open water swim.
