Four Hokies have been named to the 2020 Swimming & Diving All-ACC Academic team as announced Wednesday by the league office.
Filippo Dal Maso and Thomas Hallock made the men’s team while Teagan Moravek and Joelle Vereb represented the Hokies on the women’s team. This marks Vereb’s second selection to the conference academic team while the other three Hokies are making their first appearances.
All four were set to represent the Hokies at the NCAA Swimming & Diving Championships before the event was cancelled. Dal Maso was competing in the 800–free relay, while Hallock was set to compete in the 50 free, 100 free and 100 back.
Vereb qualified for the 50 free and 100 fly while Moravek was set to represent the Hokies on the diving boards in the 1-meter and 3-meter. Dal Maso, Hallock, Vereb and Moravek all earned All-America honors this season.

Candidates for the awards must have maintained a 3.0 grade point average for their careers and a 3.0 for each of the last two semesters.
