Springfield, Mass. – May 22, 2025 – The Springfield College men's swimming and diving program had four student-athletes honored for their academic and athletic excellence by the College Sports Communicators (CSC) as they were all named to the 2024-25 CSC Academic All-District Men's Swimming and Diving Team.

The quartet of Christian Butler (North Haven, Conn.), Jonathan Chan (Hong Kong), Ryan Goolsbey (East Lyme, Conn.) and Matt Quinney (Belchertown, Mass.) garnered the regional academic honor, which was selected by College Sports Communicators and recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances in the pool and in the classroom. The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA.

Butler, a health science major with a 3.62 grade point average, ended his sophomore season at the NCAA Division III National Championships with a 21st place finish on the 3-meter board (397.50) and a 22nd place finish on the 1-meter board (390.45). Butler was named as the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Men's Diver of the Year for the second straight season and was selected as the NEWMAC Men's Diver of the Week eight times over the course of the 2024-25 campaign. The sophomore also took home regional runner-up honors on the 1-meter board and a fourth-place finish on the 3-meter board at the Northeast-North Diving Regional Championships back in March.

Chan, a health science major with a 3.57 grade point average, was part of three school records at the 2025 NEWMAC Championships as he individually broke the record in the 100-fly with a time of 49.06 and then teamed up with the 200-medley relay for NEWMAC All-Conference Second Team honors in the event in 1:30.96 and with the 400-medley relay team for a record breaking time of 3:22.83. At NEWMAC's, Chan also took fifth in the 400-free relay (3:03.84), sixth in the 200-fly (1:52.87) and 16th in the 50-free (21.42).

Quinney, a sports biology major with a 3.89 grade point average, was part of a pair of school records at the 2025 NEWMAC Championships teaming up with the 200-medley relay in 1:30.96 for NEWMAC All-Conference Second Team honors and the 200-free relay in 1:22.24 for third place in the event. The junior also swam to a fifth place finish in the 100-breast (55.80), fifth in the 400-free relay (3:03.84), sixth in the 100-free (46.06) and seventh in the 200-IM (1:52.89).

Goolsbey, a physician assistant studies major with a 3.95 grade point average, had another strong showing at the NEWMAC Championships as he placed sixth in the 1650-free in 16:37.22, 14th in the 500-free in 4:46.17, 14th in the 800-free relay in 7:03.70 and 22nd in the 200-free in 1:47.65.
