NCAA Division III Championships: NYU Up as Challengers Rattle off 1-2 Results

For the last 40 or so years, give or take, you’ve only needed to know three names in NCAA Division III swimming when it comes time for team trophies.

There’s Kenyon. There’s Emory. And there’s Denison.

This year at NCAA, the NYU women are threatening to upset that triumvirate.

While the three powers entered are clustered within three points, it was a battle for third. As we head to Saturday, they’re chasing NYU and MIT, out in front and looking to disrupt the established order.

NYU’s women have never been higher than third, achieved last year. Before that, the Violets were fifth in 2019 and 2023. But they assembled a big night Friday, going 1-2 in the 200 fly before winning the 800 free relay to consolidate their lead. Kenyon countered with a 1-2-3 seeding in the 100 breast, while MIT pulled off a 1-2 in the 100 back.

Kenyon has won two of the last three titles, sandwiching Denison. Before that was a run of 10 straight for Emory. The three have won every NCAA Division III women’s title since Williams College’s triumph in 1983.

On the men’s side, Emory has won the last three, Denison the two before that, then some jockeying from the three after Denison in 2011 broke Kenyon’s title streak that dated back uninterrupted to 1980. But Emory started Friday mired in fifth, and while they closed the gap to get into the trophy spot, Denison remains in control.

All the action from the Greensboro Aquatic Center on a pivotal double-relay night that featured a tie in the men’s medley relay, the only one of four not to set an NCAA record. Team scores at the end of Friday:

Women’s 200 medley relay

The night is book-ended by the specialties for each of the top two on the women’s side. MIT is first, and they backed it up by setting an NCAA record of 1:39.51, clipping .04 under the old mark to defend their title. Kate Augustyn, Sarah Bernard, Annika Naveen and Ella Roberson comprised the quartet.

NYU limited the damage to 10 points by finishing fourth. In between was Kenyon (in 1:40.26) and Denison (in 1:40.77). Kenyon, with its glut of breaststrokers, is poised to move Friday night.

Men’s 200 medley relay

It’s a tie! Tufts qualified first and was .07 slower at night in 1:26.72, and they had to play catchup to Emory, which touched in an identical time. Eric Lundgren, Everett Adams, Armaan Sikka and Soeren Euvrard were the Tufts’ four, Euvrard needing a 19.77 on the end to claw back three tenths on Emory.

The reigning champion Eagles (Tufts was ninth last year) used a hellacious 20.69 from Jeff Echols on fly. Nolan Lahmann, Henry Bonnault and Dylan Yin were the rest of the team. Yin’s anchor of 20.07 was the seventh fastest in the A final.

Carnegie Mellon finished third, .05 up on Denison. Bates was seventh despite a 19.15 from Max Cory coming home.

Women’s 200 butterfly

NYU made good on its 1-2 position in in prelims. The next best thing for the Violets to Caitlin Marshall repeating as champion is junior Nicole Ranile jumping past the senior into the top spot. Ranile, fourth last year, went 1:57.72. Marshall’s time of 1:58.18 was .32 faster than her winning time from last year. Reina Gomez added to it by winning the B final in 2:01.39, but the Violets would’ve preferred that in the morning to get into the A final, Gomez posting the fifth-fastest time at night and finishing fifth last year.

Denison’s Emily Harris is third for the second straight year, in 2:00.33. Maeve Kelley of Amherst followed, with Kenyon getting points from Amelia Stevenson in fifth.

Women’s 100 backstroke

After serving notice with two relays wins, Kate Augustyn got her first win in the 100 back. Her time is the exact same 53.41 that she won last year, though she lowered that NCAA record to 53.29 in season.

It fell to teammate Sydney Smith to provide the bonus, then, which she did by going 54.48, up from third in prelims to second for an MIT 1-2, pulling the Engineers within 16 points of NYU. Smith was sixth last year.

Loras fifth-year Anna Durak was third in 54.66. Elisabella Forest of Chicago denied Kenyon’s Gwen Eisenbeis a chance to move up from fifth.

The best swim of the B final, by Emory’s Megan Jungers, was 54.71, which was fourth-fastest of the night session, but it only gets her and the Eagles ninth. Jungers was fourth last year.

Women’s 100 breaststroke

It’s Kenyon’s turn, as Jennah Fadely and Gabriella Wei went 1-2 for the Owls. Freshman Kelsey Van Edlick was .03 from making it a clean sweep, Denison’s Drue Thielking probably getting a few shoulder taps from some other schools for that service.

Fadely, who went 59.80 last year and holds the NCAA record at 59.62 on an in-season time, went 1:00.13 to win by nearly a second over Wei, who was third last year. Van Eldik was 1:01.34. The Owls move within 47 points of NYU, whose lead over MIT shrunk to 10 points thanks to Sarah Bernard finishing eighth.

Women’s 800 freestyle relay

It’s a 20-point lead going into the final day thanks to an NCAA record for NYU, which went 7:13.02. Nicole Ranile, Elle Motekaitis, Isabel Oldham and Kaley McIntyre set the record, 3.2 seconds quicker than they were in winning last year and under the record of 7:13.51. McIntyre did work on the end, going 1:44.70 to take what had been a three-tenths lead and explode it to 4.5 seconds.

Denison was second in 7:17.57, with Emory third and MIT fourth to keep the pressure on. NYU is the top seed and MIT second in that relay to cap the meet Saturday.
