SWIMMING -- Former Chugiak High swimmer Catherine Engibous has been awarded ESPN The Magazine all-district honors for her combined athletic and academic performance at Ouachita Baptist University, a Division II school in Arkadelphia, Ark.
As a first-team selection, Engibous, a junior, advances to the academic all-America ballot.
Engibous carries a 3.68 GPA in her biology major, according to a press release from the school. She earned All-America status in four events at the Division II swimming national championships -- fourth in the 1,650 freestyle, fifth as part of the 800 freestyle relay team, fourth in the 1,000 freestyle and eighth in the 500 freestyle.
Engibous, who also earned all-conference honors, will leave Ouachita next year to attend graduate school at Marquette in Wisconsin.
