WALTHAM, Mass. – Bentley University junior Mary Huminski (Madison, Conn./Daniel Hand HS) has been selected to the NCAA Division II Women's Swimming and Diving Academic All-America® third team, as selected by the College Sports Communicators (formerly CoSIDA).

This is the first time in the 70-plus year history of the Academic All-America program that swimming has had its own standalone team. Previously, it was included along with many other sports in the at-large category.

Huminski, the only Northeast-10 Conference student-athlete among the 34 Division II student-athletes selected, has been the conference's premier women's diver since her arrival on campus in the fall of 2019. She earned gold in both diving events at the NE10 Championships in 2020 and 2022, and made it a three-peat last month when she posted winning scores of 435.80, a career-best, from the one-meter board and 4:14.26 from the three-meter. The only year she didn't win was in 2021 when the pandemic cancelled the championships.

Huminski, the three-time NE10 Women's Diver of the Meet, has twice been recognized as the NE10 Women's Diver of the Year and is a strong favorite to win it for the third time this year. She competed in the NCAA Division II qualifying meet in 2020 and 2022.

Huminski, who has a 3.76 grade point average as a management major, has been involved in the Women's Leadership Program and the Management Student-Advisory Committee, and has been a resident assistant. She was selected for Academic All-Northeast-10 honors in 2022.

Huminski is the third Academic All-America in Bentley swimming and diving history and the first since Stephanie Lantz in 2005. Matt Cupps, an All-America diver, was the first in 2001.

It is the 91^st Academic All-America award all-time for Bentley University, a total that ranks in the top 15 in Division II annals.
