BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Forty-five LSU student-athletes from the men's basketball, women's basketball, gymnastics, and swimming and diving teams earned spots on the SEC Winter Academic Honor Roll as announced by the league office Friday. 

The swimming and diving team led the way for LSU with 29 student-athletes, including all-Americans Logan Rysemus, Cassie Weil and Leah Troskot. The women’s program placed 19 student-athletes on the list for the second-straight year.

Rysemus rounded out his junior season with all-America honors in the 100 fly and 100 back. The Tacoma, Washington native broke the school record in both events and also earned silver at SEC Championships. Rysemus became the first swimmer in school history to go sub-46 in both the 100 fly and 100 back.

Weil capped a remarkable career as a six-time all-American between three-meter and platform. At NCAA Championships, Weil earned the highest finish for a Lady Tiger at the national event since 2004 as she finished fifth on platform.

Troskot also earned all-America honors in the 100 free after earning a spot in the consolation final. The junior finished 13th overall with a personal-best time of 48.37. Troskot became the fifth Lady Tiger in school history to earn the honors in the 100 free and the first since Amanda Kendall in 2011.

Ten LSU gymnasts earned spots on the honor roll. Those listed include Sydney Ewing, Michelle Gauthier, Ashleigh Gnat, Myia Hambrick, Erin Macadaeg, Kylie Moran, Shonacee Oliva, Jessica Savona, Randii Wyrick and Shae Zamardi.

The gymnastics team is fresh off a school-record finish at the 2016 NCAA Championships where the Tigers were the national runner-up. LSU earned a 197.4500 to place second, the highest finish in school history, as the Tigers reached the NCAA Super Six for the fifth time in program history and the third time in the last four seasons.

Seniors Ann Jones and Anne Pedersen, junior Rina Hill and sophomore Jenna Deemer earned accolades on the women’s basketball team. Pedersen and Jones have already earned their bachelor’s degrees from LSU. Pedersen, who is currently working on her master’s degree in sport pedagogy, is a four-time member of the SEC Academic Honor Roll. Hill picks up her third-straight honor roll designation by the league office, and Deemer was a member of the SEC’s First-Year Academic Honor Roll in 2014-15.

LSU men’s basketball was represented by Henry Shortess and Brandon Eddlestone, both multiple time members of the list. Shortess, who will graduate in three years in May, was given a scholarship by Coach Johnny Jones this semester for his dedicated work to help make the program better.

The 2015-16 Winter SEC Academic Honor Roll is based on grades from the 2015 Spring, Summer and Fall terms. A total of 667 student-athletes received accolades around the conference.
