The Missouri Valley Conference announces the 2012 Swimming and Diving Scholar-Athlete Team following the completion of the 2011- 2012 conference season.

Scholar-Athlete honors require athletes to have completed at least one year and maintain either a 3.2 GPA and obtain all-conference honors, achieve a 3.5 GPA and finish top sixteen in an individual event at the conference championships, or maintain a 3.8 GPA and participate in the MVC championship.

Forty-two student-athletes qualified for the Valley 2012 Swimming and Diving Scholar-Athlete team, with two student-athletes averaging a perfect 4.0 GPA and fourteen student-athletes above an impressive 3.8 GPA. The 2012 Swimming and Diving Conference Champions from Missouri State claim the most spots on the scholar-athlete team with eleven, followed by Illinois State with nine representatives.
