Virginia Swimmer makes Academic All-America At-Large Third Team
Virginia senior swimmer Megan Roesch recently was selected to the 2001-2002 Verizon Academic All-America University Division At-Large Third Team on June 13, after the women's swimming team finished their season in late March. Roesch is one of 15 athletes from across the country, and only the third swimmer to make any of the At-Large teams.
Roesch became eligible to make the team after being named to the All-District III First Team in May.
The senior swimmer, who was known as a sprint freestyle specialist, was one of three captains on Virginia's nationally ranked women's swimming team that recently finished 12th at the 2002 NCAA championships.
Roesch earned All-America honors as a member of the Cavaliers' 200-meter relay team, which finished eighth during the Championships in March. She finished 15th place in the 50 freestyle and 10th place in the 400 freestyle relay, which landed her honorable mention All-America in those two events. Roesch also was named as a member of the All-ACC team after taking fourth and fifth in those relay races during the 2002 ACC Championships.

Both players are rising seniors, with Aumiller leading the nation in scoring with 106 overall points. She was named an All-American for the second straight season and will look to take the Cavaliers to back to back ACC championships, after the Cavaliers won the championship for the first time since 1993.
Buchanon, who played line defense for the Cavaliers, helped play a pivotal role in the resurgence of women's lacrosse at Virginia.

Bosevska won the 2002 ACC Meet MVP after breaking two ACC records while finishing third at the NCAA Championships. She was named as a first team All-American in both the 200- and 400-meter individual medley, both of which she won at the ACC Championships.
