Denison University sophomore Kristen Hohl (Winfield,
Ill./Wheaton North) was named to the 2007 ESPN The
Magazine Academic All-America second-team as voted on by the
College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
A biology major with a 4.0 grade point average, Hohl has helped
the Denison women's swimming and diving team to a sixth place
finish at the Division III national championship in 2006 and a
fifth place finish in 2007. A nine-time All-American, Hohl turned
in four All-America performances at this year's championship in
Houston, Texas. She swam the fastest split in Denison's fourth
place 200 freestyle relay and she helped the 200 medley relay team
to a third place finish. As an individual, she finished 15th in the
100 freestyle with a time of 52.86 seconds.
At the 2007 North Coast Athletic Conference Championships Hohl
swam on the conference champion, 800 freestyle relay team.
Hohl advanced to the Academic All-America ballot by being named
to the CoSIDA Academic All-District first team. She was joined on
the All-District squad by her teammate, junior Christine
Wissink (Cortland, N.Y./Cortland), who was a second-team
All-District selection. Wissink is a junior Geoscience, Sociology
and Anthropology major who also qualified for nationals. Her top
finish came on the sixth place 400 medley relay squad.
