Bousum has a 3.67 cumulative grade-point average as a psychology major, as she earned a nod as an All-Sun Belt First Team selection for the second year in a row. She repeated as the 200 Free Sun Belt Champion with the fifth fastest time in program history at 1:47.54.

A biology major with a 3.61 cumulative GPA, Holloway was tabbed as Sun Belt Diver of the Year for the second straight year.

Holloway won gold on the 3-meter board with a Sun Belt Championship record score of 350.35, winning the event for a third straight season. She secured a second gold in platform diving with a championship record score again, this time 267.15. The Spring, Texas native also won a silver medal on the 1-meter board, advancing to the finals in the event at the NCAA Zone Diving Championships.
Â
Securing an All-Sun Belt First Team distinction as she led off the gold-medal winning 200 Free Relay that set JMU and Sun Belt Championship records, Volk was named Academic All-District as an accounting major with a 3.82 cumulative GPA. She earned a silver medal at the Sun Belt Championship in the 200 Medley Relay as well, while placing in the top eight of two of her individual events.

Bridgman is an inclusive early child education major with a 3.88 cumulative GPA, earning All-Sun Belt First Team laurels for a second consecutive year.
