2023 NCAA Division II Championships: Jackson Lustig Takes Down National Record as Nova Southeastern, Indy Remain on Top
On the fourth of five days of the NCAA Division II Championships, the Nova Southeastern women extended their lead in the team competition to 90.5 points as Emily Trieschmann picked up her second win of the meet in the 500 freestyle while Savanna Best and Claire Gass picked up a 1-3 finish in the 100 breaststroke. Meanwhile, the men’s meet tightened up at the top as Drury reduced Indy’s lead from 57 points to just 35.5 to make things interesting heading into the final day of the meet.
The top performance of Friday evening’s finals came from Jackson Lustig, a McKendree sophomore who became the first swimmer in Division II history to break 1:41 in the 200 butterfly.

Women’s 500 Freestyle
Nova Southeastern’s Emily Trieschmann, already a dominant winner and NCAA-record-setter in the 1000 free, produced a dominant win in the 500-yard event, her time of 4:45.56 beating the field by more than four-and-a-half seconds. With Nova having built a comfortable lead in the team competition and winning all three women’s relays so far, Trieschmann’s victory was the fourth individual win for her team after her own win Wednesday evening plus May Lowy’s 400 IM win and Emilia Ronningdal’s wins in both the 200 IM and 200 free.
Wayne State’s Jordan Fox, already the runnerup in the 1000 free, took second in 4:50.13 while Azusa Pacific’s Montana White grabbed third in 4:51.54. West Chester’s Mikayla Niness took fourth (4:52.88) after a final 50 burst helped her catch Colorado Mesa’s Katerina Matoskova (fifth, 4:53.06).

Men’s 500 Freestyle
Tampa’s Hayden Curley was swimming in an outside lane in the final after he qualified seventh in prelims, but he got the better of the field in the final, taking over the lead from Indy’s Cedric Buessing, already the winner of the 1000 free, at the 200-yard mark. Curley then built up a two-second lead, which he needed to hold off a blistering 24.75 final split from Buessing.
Curley touched in 4:18.66, about two-thirds of a second clear of Buessing. Oklahoma Christian’s Victor Rosado finished just behind Buessing for third in 4:19.45, while the next-fastest swimmer, Grand Valley’s Eric Hieber, was well back in 4:21.98.

Men’s 100 Breaststroke
In an extraordinarily close finish, Drury’s Davi Mourao touched out Florida Southern’s Matteo Zampese for the win by three hundredths, 52.65 to 52.68. Mourao was actually the fifth-fastest qualifier after prelims while Zampese snuck into the final in the eighth spot, but after the entire field turned within three tenths of each other at the halfway point, it was Mourao and Zampese who overtook top qualifiers and early leaders Daniel Garcia and Filipe Pinheiro.
Findlay’s Garcia ended up finishing third in 52.87 after he swam a time of 52.73 in prelims while McKendree’s Pinheiro took fourth in 52.92 after a 52.69 in prelims. No other swimmer was able to break 53 in the final.

Women’s 200 Butterfly
After a second-place finish in the 100 fly Thursday night, West Chester’s Ann Carozza won convincingly in the eight-lap butterfly race. While she was unable to approach the NCAA Division II record of 1:55.98 she set last season, Carozza touched more than one-and-a-half seconds clear in the final 200 fly of her collegiate career, touching in 1:57.73.
Drury’s Aurora Duncan was in second place for most of the race, and she ended up touching in 1:59.30 while third place went to Nova Southeastern’s May Lowy, already the winner of the 400 IM Thursday night, who got under 2:00 to finish third in 1:59.83. Drury, currently hanging on to third place in team competition, picked up a 2-4 finish with Mellie Wijk taking fourth in 2:00.15.
