The team of Bailee Nunn (22.20), Vera Johansson (22.91), Yekaterina Rudenko (22.70), and Madeline Nelson (23.22) touched in 1:31.03 to take the relay title and move them ahead of Queens in the team standings.

Women’s 400 IM

Northern State’s Hannah Kastigar dropped almost 3 seconds from her prelims time to take the 400 IM title with a 4:12.99. Kastigar led the race from start to finish, finishing just over 5 seconds ahead of second place Alexis Divelbiss (4:18.24) and Melanie Tombers (4:18.38).

That matches Divelbiss’ 2nd place finish from last night in the 200 IM, and matches Tombers’ best finish at the NCAA meet.

Men’s 400 IM

Queens junior Nick Arakelian repeated as 400 IM champion for the third year in the row. Arakelian was actually in dead last after the fly leg but worked his way into first with an amazing backstroke and breaststroke leg to take home the crown in 3:45.01, just over a second off of his NCAA record.

2nd place finisher Adrian VanderHelm was out hard at the 100, leading with a 50.26 after the fly leg but faded going into the breaststroke and had to fight back against 3rd place finisher Gabriel Hernandez on the freestyle leg.

Women’s 1-meter diving

Senior Monica Amaral won the women’s 1-meter event with a final score of 478.25, more than 30 points ahead of runner-up Christina Sather from Clarion. Rounding out the podium was Wayne State’s Elizabeth Rawlings, who was 3rd in 429.45.

Amaral’s win capped off a big night for West Florida after Theresa Michalak won the 100 butterfly en route to a new NCAA record and their 200 free relay opened the night with a 5th place finish. That leaves West Florida in a three-way tie for 4th with West Chester and Lindenwood heading into the final event of the night.

Women’s 400 Medley Relay

Queens University of Charlotte pulled out a win in a tight battle against Drury in the 400 medley relay, out-touching the Panthers 3:38.25 to 3:38.95. The Queens team of Hannah Peiffer (54.03), Michelle Prayson (1:01.49), Georgia DaCruz (52.42), and Kyrie Dobson (50.41) held off the Drury team to grab first and further Queens lead in the team race to 22 points over Drury.

The two teams were dead even after backstroke, and while Drury’s Zuzanna Chwadeczko pulled away on the breast leg Queen’s Georgia DaCruz had a monster split of 52.42 to get them back in the race and have the teams even going into the freestyle leg. Wingate wasn’t too far back in 3rd with a 3:39.44, thanks in large part to Alexis Divelbiss who had a great anchor leg of 49.00, the fastest in the field.
