COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.— Five Colorado Mesa University athletes received the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference's major awards for the recently completed 2024-25 Swimming & Diving Season.
 
The Maverick men swept the three awards as team captain Andrew Scoggin was named as the RMAC Men's Swimmer of the Year.  Ryan Campbell was tabbed as the Men's Diver of the Year while Richard Schmeidefeld was tabbed as the Freshman of the Year.  On the women's side, Kenya Meyer was named as the Diver of the Year while Kendyll Wilkinson was picked as the Freshman of the Year.  Simon Fraser's Tori Meklensek received the Women's Swimmer of the Year honor.
 
All of the awards, including the Coach of the Year plaudits, were voted on by the league's six men's and nine women's head coaches, who could not vote for themselves or their own athletes.
 
Additionally, 34 different Maverick athletes earned a combined 100 All-RMAC honors, which were determined solely based on the results from last month's RMAC Championships but officially announced in conjunction with Thursday's post-season major awards releases. 

The Maverick men had 15 individuals receive 45 total All-RMAC honors to lead the league.

The Maverick women did event better as 19 individuals combined for 55 honors.
 
The honorees are broken down in the RMAC's releases, linked above.  CMU's honorees are also listed at the end of this article.
 
The top two individual finishers and members of the first and second place relay teams earned first team all-conference recognition while the third and fourth placing finishing individuals and relay team members garner second team accolades.
 
The Mavericks swept the RMAC team titles for the seventh straight year in February and then went on to finish third (women's) and ninth (men's) at last week's NCAA Division II Championships in Indianapolis, which were the highest finishes for any RMAC school.
 
At the conference level, the Mavericks won 27 of the 42 total events, while winning all 20 relay heats and all four diving events for the second straight year.
 
Scoggin, a Greeley, Colorado native, won four events at the RMAC Championships and followed that by claiming All-American honors in six events at the national championships.

Wilkinson, a Grand Junction, Colorado native, won four medals at the RMAC Championships and earned two more at the NCAA Division II Championships last weekend. At the RMAC Championships, she was a member of the Mavericks' 200 and 800 freestyle winning teams, finished second in the 100 freestyle and third in the 200 freestyle. Wilkinson then was part of Colorado Mesa's 400 freestyle relay team that finished with the silver medal in Indianapolis and the third-place 800 freestyle relay unit.
