CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Men's and women's swimming enjoyed a nice season both in and outside the pool, garnering a long list of accolades both athletically and academically. Jan Delkeskamp, who played a strong role in men's swimming's success this season, has been named a finalist for the Walter Byers Scholarship.
 
Delkeskamp is the second Royal in as many years to be named a finalist for this prestigious honor. Last season, former Royal and finalist for NCAA Woman of the Year, Kayla Tennant, was also a finalist for the Walter Byers Scholarship as well.
 
In 1988, the National Collegiate Athletic Association established the Walter Byers Scholarship as a means of recognizing the contributions of the former executive director through encouraging excellence in academic performance by student-athletes. Annually, one male and one female student-athlete are awarded a $24,000 Walter Byers scholarship in recognition of outstanding academic achievement and potential for success in graduate study. It is intended that an individual named a Byers Scholar will be recognized as one who has combined the best elements of mind and body to achieve national distinction for his or her achievements and promises to be a future leader in his or her chosen field of career service.
