The 2012-2013 Westlake High School girls’ swimming and diving team earned the National Interscholastic Swim Coaches Association (NISCA) Scholar Team Award, Gold Level, for having the seventh highest GPA in the country – 3.889 – and the highest in Ohio.

The NISCA Scholar Team Award recognizes teams achieving high academic standards. The award is based on the average cumulative GPA of an entire Varsity team of 12 or more athletes. The three levels of recognition are:
