Logan Borowski, a senior at Hawaii Preparatory Academy and a member of the school’s Academy Swim Club, has been named to USA Swimming’s 2010 Scholastic All-America Team.

Borowski is the only student from Hawaii to make the team.

Each year, USA Swimming recognizes its members who excel in the classroom and in the pool. The Scholastic All-America Team is made up of high school student-athletes who have a grade point average of 3.5 or higher and who have achieved the required time standard in a single event.

To be eligible for this recognition, swimmers must have completed their sophomore, junior or senior year and must be a USA Swimming member athlete.

“Logan has worked very hard to be a swimmer of extreme speed,” said HPA swim coach Mark Noetzel. “His teammates have supported him by pushing him to become better and better during their practice workouts.”

Team captain Borowski currently holds school records in the 50 freestyle, 100 breaststroke, 100 butterfly, and 200 medley relay. He dominated the 2010 BIIF Championship by placing first in the 200 medley relay, 50 freestyle, 100 butterfly, and 200 freestyle relay.

At the 2010 Hawaii High School Athletic Association Championship, Borowski took state titles in the 50 freestyle and 200 medley relay, was runner up in the 200 freestyle relay, and placed third in the 100 butterfly.

He also was named a 2010 All America in the 50 Freestyle by the National Interscholastic Swimming Coaches Association (NISCA), ranking him among the top swimmers in the country.
