NCAA Division III Championships, Night 4: Gabriella Wei, Bengisu Caymaz Lead Kenyon to Women’s Title
With three points separating it atop the NCAA Division III Championships standings entering the final night, Kenyon had a chance to stamp its authority on the meet.
It did so, and emphatically.
Kenyon won the NCAA title for the second time in three years and 25th time overall, behind wins by Bengisu Caymaz in the 1,650 freestyle and a 1-2 from Gabriella Wei and Jennah Fadely in the 200 breaststroke. They ended up 18 clear of Denison, the lead pack leaving NYU behind on the final night at Greensboro Aquatic Center.
Emory clinched its third straight men’s crown. Kenyon was second for the second consecutive year.

Men’s 1,650 free
Seven hundredths of a second is all that separated Lucas Lang and Connor Vincent after a mile of racing. Lang just hung on in the final 50, coming home in 26.22 to Vincent’s 24.99. That led the Claremont Mudd Scripps junior win gold in 15:17.48. He had been fifth last year.
Vincent, a junior from NYU, was second. It’s his second straight medal, having won bronze last year. Lucas Conrads of Denison was third in 15:22.12. Denison’s Luke Landis was fourth, while Samuel Dienstag of Brandeis dropped a spot from last year to fifth.
Last year’s champion, Kellen Roddy of Johns Hopkins, was seventh in 15:32.85, nearly 12 seconds behind his seed time.

Women’s 1,650 free
Bengisu Caymaz pulled a big of a surprise in winning the 500 free. Three nights later, there was no shock when she went 16:34.67 to add the mile title to the pile. The points were huge for Kenyon, holding off what it traditionally a stronghold for Denison.
Williams’ Lily Codd was second in 16:41.51. She was fourth last year. NYU’s Caitlin Marshall improved from fifth in 2023 to the bronze medal in 16:41.99. Like in the men’s race, the reigning women’s champ from Johns Hopkins, Kristin Cornish, dropped to fourth.
Denison wasn’t as dominant as usual in this event. They put three swimmers in the top 10. But Taryn Wisner and Tara Witkowski were second and third last year. This year, they were 10th and fifth, respectively, with Quinn Brown eighth.

McIntyre was head and shoulders above the field. Pomona-Pitzer’s Alex Turvey finished second in 49.56, up from eighth last year. Tufts’ Jillian Cudney was third in 50.09, followed by MIT freshman Ella Roberson.

It’s the same top four as last year, but in a much preferred order from the point of view of MIT’s Kate Augustyn. The junior went from third in 2023 to the win in 1:55.98, more than 1.5 seconds quicker than the time used by Sophia Verkleeren to win last year. Verkleeren secured the silver medal, and while she was .46 seconds quicker than last year in 1:57.20, it wasn’t enough to keep up with Augustyn.
Last year’s runner-up, Caleigh Wukitch of Kenyon, finished third in 1:58.98. Carnegie Mellon’s Savannah Xu was fourth for the second straight year, in 2:00.33.
