The College of the Florida Keys' men’s swim team was named the Male Academic Team of the Year, in the small roster category with 10 or fewer participants, by the Florida College System Activities Association (FCSAA) on July 3. The men honored on the 2024 Tugas team were Seth Bullard, Mason Egan, Kaemon Fagley, Juan Carlos Foster, Edward Kertis Jr., and Corey Krapf. The award was voted on by the Council for Athletic Affairs' Executive Board and was based on grade point averages for the Fall 2023 and Spring 2024 semesters.

“Our swimmers hit the books as hard as they hit the pool,” said Lori Bosco, CFK Athletic Director and Swim Coach. “This honor is a testament to how driven our athletes are to succeed. They put in a great deal of effort to balance their swimming ambitions with their college goals alongside many other responsibilities.”

Four of the six male swimmers plan to return to the team for the 2024-25 season, which starts in September. The College is currently recruiting new athletes to join both the men’s and women’s teams. Preseason practice will begin in August. For more information about CFK’s swim teams, visit the College’s website at www.cfk.edu/studentlife/cfk-swim-team/.
