NCAA Division III Championships, Night 4: MIT Surges to First Women’s Title; Denison Dominates
Entering the final day of the NCAA Division III Championships, 20 points separated NYU and MIT in the women’s standings. MIT positively sprinted to the final.
Capped by a win in the 400 freestyle relay, MIT surged with its depth to get its first NCAA title, denying NYU the same with 497 points to the Violets’ 470. It’s a new champion, with Kenyon starting 50 points back of NYU despite three A finalists in the 200 breaststroke.
On the men’s side, Denison, last the champion in 2019, finished it off by more than 100 points over reigning champion Emory.

Women’s 1,650 freestyle
Winner of the 500 free, Bowdoin freshman Natalie Garre added an emphatic record in the mile, winning in 16:17.84. That obliterates the record set in 2015 by Williams’ Sarah Thompson at 16:21.44. Garre’s time was nearly 17 seconds quicker than the winner in 2024 and 10.5 seconds ahead of the field.
Now for the team race: A second-place finish for Kenyon’s Bengisu Caymaz, said reigning champion, temporarily jumps the Owls to second place in the team standings, three ahead of MIT. NYU’s lead is 40 over MIT. Caymaz’s teammate Molly Haag was third.
NYU made out as well as it could’ve hoped, though. It entered seeded ninth and 12th and got fourth and ninth. Swimming out of the morning, Caitlin Marshall laid down a strong time to finish fourth, a spot back from last year. Teammate Aanya Wala was ninth. Denison’s Quinn Brown was fifth.

The title again goes to Lucas Lang of Claremont-Mudd-Scripps. He went 15:18.01, within a second of last year’s time and two seconds clear of Distenfeld. NYU’s Connor Vincent was fourth after finishing second last year.

Women’s 100 freestyle
Make it three titles this week for Kaley McIntyre, including her second in the 100 free. Which is more important: The NCAA record, lowering her in-season 48.58 by .05 to 48.53, or the points to counter a 3-4-6 finish by MIT? Either way, the Violets are 14 points to the good.
Pomona-Pitzer’s Valerie Mello held onto her second seed in 49.50, followed by the MIT duo of Annika Naveen and Alex Turvey, the latter second last year. Both broke 50 seconds. Sydney Smith slid a spot from prelims to sixth, with Avery Vogen jumping up.

He was well ahead of Calvin’s David Bajwa in 43.25. Bajwa finished .07 ahead of Kenyon’s Djordje Dragojlovic, last year’s champ, who went 43.32. Chicago’s Sebi Vernhes, an A in 2024, finished fourth. The winner of the 200 free, Colin Twiss of Coast Guard Academy was seventh.

In a rematch of last year’s title bout, Kate Augustyn again got the better of Sophia Verkleeren. The MIT senior went 1:55.85, brushing within two tenths of the NCAA record set in 2018 by Crile Hart. Augustyn won in 1:55.98 last year. Williams’ Verkleeren was second in 1:56.68, the duo nearly two seconds clear of the field.
Augustyn’s points bring MIT one solitary point behind NYU for the team lead.

Clapp was 17th last year. He and Wolford turned for home within three tenths of Tufts’ Eric Lindgren, but the leading two pulled away.
Not much on the team front, with Devin Testin of Denison finishing sixth, one spot up on Emory’s Graham Zucker, to hold the team lead.

The big jump was MIT freshman Sarah Bernard, who went 2:14.53 to leap from eighth in prelims to fifth. That gives MIT 437 points, 13 up on NYU and 27 up on Kenyon.

It’s 2-4-5 for Denison and almost certainly an NCAA title. Liyang Sun of Emory, eighth last year, jumped up to get the win in 1:56.63. But Denison’s depth did its job, with Patrick Daly in second, Elijah Venos fourth and Gavin Jones. That’s an unassailable lead of 124 points on Emory.
In between, Max Nechydyuk of NYU was third.
Emory’s Henri Bonnault, the 100 breast champ, didn’t make it back. He was 21st in prelims after winning the B final last year.

Women’s 3-meter diving
In the tale of MIT’s title, sophomore diver Fiora Beratahani deserves a notable mention. Fifth on 1-meter, she grabbed third on 3-meter Saturday night, stretching the Engineers’ lead from 13 to 21 points and guaranteeing that the MIT’s A finalist relay, which could score no fewer than 22 points for finishing legally, needed just get to the finish line to clinch the title. Beratahani scored 497.55, and while NYU finished 10th and 12th in the B final, Rachel Loh of MIT was also 13th.
The win went to Kailee Payne of Ithaca, her second straight NCAA sweep. She was tops in prelims by more than 30 points, then scored 522.80 to pull away at night. Only Case Western’s Abigail Wilkov joined her north of 500 points. Carleton’s Nina Schwab was fourth.

Women’s 400 freestyle relay
MIT needed just to finish to win the team title. Instead, it applied an exclamation point, in a victory parade and a celebratory battle with NYU. MIT went 3:19.03 to win, the squad of Alex Turvey, Sydney Smith, Kate Augustyn and Ella Roberson. They brushed within a half-second of the 2018 record by Emory.
NYU was under the mark, too, in 3:19.36. Kaley McIntyre’s split of 47.80 nearly brought the Violets back into it. Last year’s champion Pomona-Pitzer was third, with Denison fourth. Kenyon sealed third in the team standings by finishing fifth in the relay.
