GEORGETOWN, TX (05/24/2011)(readMedia)-- The 2010-11 Capital One Academic All-District® Men's At-Large (Sports) Teams, selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America, have been released to recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performance athletically and in the classroom. Sophomore swimmer Patrick Flanigan was a All-District First Team selection.

Flanigan, from Austin, Texas, touts a 3.93 grade point average and is majoring in biochemistry and Spanish. He is the current record holder at Southwestern in the men's 100 free and was a part of the record-setting men's 200 medley relay.

The Academic All-District® teams include the student-athletes listed and are divided into eight geographic districts across the United States and Canada. The University Division team includes NCAA Division I participants, while the College Division team combines NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III, NAIA, Canadian and two-year schools.

First-team Academic All-District® honorees advance to the national Capital One Academic All-America® Team ballot, where First, Second and Third Team All-America honorees will be selected later this month. Student-athletes on the Academic All-District Second and Third teams (if applicable) do not advance to the national ballot.
