Official Release
AUSTIN, Texas -- Bowling Green State University standout senior Talisa Lemke has been named a Second Team Academic All-American, selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). The teams were announced on Friday afternoon (June 19).
Â
Lemke is the first Academic All-American at Bowling Green since Elisa Baeron of women's soccer took home the honors in December of 2018. Just last month, Lemke was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District Women's At-Large team for the second-consecutive year.
Â
The recognition is selected by CoSIDA for the top student-athletes in the nation for combined performance in their respective athletic field, as well as the classroom. A theatre major, Lemke is one of just 20 student-athletes on the women's side to own a perfect 4.00 GPA.
Â
Lemke recently wrapped up a historic career as part of the BGSU swimming and diving program. The College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) also named Lemke an All-American in April. Lemke is the first Falcon to be recognized as a CSCAA All-American since 1991.
Â
At the 2019 Magnus Cup, Lemke broke her own school records on both boards. Her 3 meter preliminary score of 373.50 is the current school record. The native of Germany concluded the regular season with two victories in the Battle of I-75, including a record-breaking performance on the 1 meter board. Her score of 346.80 is the current school record.
Â
The senior swept the diving events at the MAC Championships for the second-consecutive year, helping the Orange and Brown take fifth place. She earned First Team All-MAC honors and was named the MAC Diver of the Year for the third-straight season. She was also recognized as the MAC's Most Outstanding Senior, and took home Academic All-MAC honors for the third time in her career.
Â
As a senior, Lemke qualified for the NCAA Diving Zones for the fourth time in her career. She was a 2018 NCAA Championships qualifier and had advanced to this season's Zone C finals before the meet was canceled. She concluded the season with 17 victories, a second-place finish, and a third-place finish. The senior finished her career with 61 first-place finishes, including five at the MAC Championships.
