While it may be June and the college swim season seems like a distant memory, the NCAA released time standards for Division III this afternoon. August will be here before we know it and these are the times DIII swimmers need to post up in their lockers if they want to be swimming at the NCAA championships at the end of the season.
2014 was an exciting year for Division III swimming when we saw the women of Emory continue their dominance while the Kenyon men made a huge comeback on day three to grab the title. With over half of the standards for men and women (A and B cuts included) being changed from 2014 to 2015, this coming season will sure be an interesting one. The NCAA championships will be held in Shenandoah, Texas on March 18-21.
