COLUMBIA, Ky. - Lindsey Wilson student-athlete Natalia Gorska is a 2026 College Sports Communicators (CSC) First Team Academic All-American, the organization announced Tuesday.

CSC seeks to honor and celebrate student-athletes who represent the highest caliber of academic and athletic achievement through the annual Academic All-District and Academic All-America programs. The Blue Raiders placed four student-athletes on the Academic All-District Team earlier this month.

Gorska, a junior from Skierniewice, Poland, garners Academic All-America Team distinction for the first time in her career. She joins Maaike Broersma and Jessica McDonald as the third swimmer in program history to receive the honor and is one of nine women from the NAIA to be named to the All-America Team and one of three representing the Mid-South Conference.

Throughout her coursework, Gorska has amassed a cumulative grade-point average of 3.88. She picked up her second career NAIA Scholar-Athlete award and earned Mid-South Conference All-Academic recognition for the second time in February before being named to the CSC Academic All-District Team.

In the pool, Gorska clinched seven NAIA All-American honors and eight Mid-South All-Conference finishes, including gold medals in the 100 freestyle and 100 backstroke.

Gorska's performance helped the Lindsey Wilson women's swimming program to a seventh-place finish at nationals.

Three of the nine members of the Academic All-America NAIA women's swimming and diving teams boast a perfect 4.00 GPA. The nine members of the first team have an average GPA of 3.87.
