16 Qualify for NCAA DII Swimming National Championship

Indianapolis, Ind. - For the fourth consecutive year, the University of Findlay men's and women's swimming and diving programs will be heavily represented on the sport's biggest stage, as 16 athletes have qualified for the 2026 NCAA Division II National Championships as announced by the NCAA on Wednesday, Feb. 25. Both programs enter the national meet with high expectations, with the men's squad currently ranked 9th in the country and the women sitting at 13th in Division II.

The championships will take place March 10-14 at the Deaconess Aquatic Center in Evansville, Indiana. This year's group continues the high standard at UF, who have now sent 16 or more competitors to nationals in four straight seasons, matching last year's total of 16, following 17 the year before, and 16 the year prior to that. Featuring a mix of veterans and standout first-timers, Findlay is once again primed to make some noise against the top competition in the country.
