Division III swimmers and divers are putting up fast times right from the get go this season. On both the men’s and women’s sides, reigning NCAA Champions and All-Americans are already getting to work for the 2016-17 season. As usual, the Kenyon Relays meet posted intense races, but swimmers across the country posted some fast individual swims as well.
Eight meet records fell on Saturday as Denison, College of Wooster, Ohio Wesleyan, Ohio Northern, Wittenberg, Oberlin and Hiram traveled to Kenyon College for the annual Kenyon Relays meet. On the women’s side, the Kenyon Ladies and Denison Big Red tied at 160 points. Despite huge middle legs from freshman Kt Kustritz (28.81) and Carolyn Kane (24.95), Denison was only able to pull out second place in the opening 200 medley relay. However, these splits are only .31 and .24 seconds, respectively off the splits on Big Red’s second-place 200 medley relay from NCAAs last year. Kustritz later split 25.58 in the 200 breaststroke relay, which is only .08 off the NCAA split.
Hannah Orbach-Mandel led the way for the Ladies as she was a key player on four relay victories for Kenyon. She anchored the 200 medley relay in 23.22, a full second faster than any other 50 freestyle split of the day. The other notable race of the day was the leadoff leg of the 3 x 500 freestyle relay. Denison’s Campbell Costley put the Big Red in the lead by swimming a 5:05.12 against Kenyon’s Marysol Arce‘s 5:13.55. Arce is the reigning NCAA Champion in this event, while Costley finished third last year, less than three seconds behind. Costley’s split is easily the fastest 500 in the nation so far for Division III.
