Day three of the 2025 NCSA Spring Swimming Championships is in the books, and many fast swims were posted across the board. The girls swam in the 400 IM, 50 breaststroke, and 100 backstroke, and 800 freestyle relay, while the boys took on the 200 freestyle, 50 breaststroke, 200 butterfly, and 200 freestyle relay.

In the girls’ 400 IM, 15-year-old Sadie Buckley rocked a time of 4:10.52, clearing the rest of the field by over three full seconds. She was a little off her best of 4:07.87, but still got the job done nonetheless. The next closest swimmer, Emma Cigna, got to the wall in 4:13.89 while Elizabeth Bryan rounded out the podium in 4:14.54.

On the first day of competition, Buckley, representing Nation’s Capital Swim Club, dropped more than a second from her 200 back best time, clocking 1:51.99. This performance moved her to #21 in the all-time rankings for 15-16 girls, surpassing her previous best of 1:53.14.

The boys’ 200 free saw 18-year-old Joshua Bey grab his first of two wins on the night. He reached the wall in a time of 1:35.16 to reap gold by just 0.09, clipping Long Island Aquatic Club’s Sean Green (1:35.25). It was a substantial best time for Bey, who entered the competition with a previous best of 1:38.06.

Highland Hurricanes’ Bey collected his 2nd gold of the night in the 50 breast, gliding to the wall in 24.52 to win by 0.16. Hornet’s Matthew Vatev touched the wall 2nd in 24.68, with Ian Disoway (24.80) and Matthew Wolfle (24.98) also joining the two swimmers under the 25-second threshold.

This marks Bey’s second night in a row winning two events, as he secured the 400 IM (3:42.61) and 100 breast (52.70) titles last night. The Indiana commit’s 400 IM swim was a new lifetime best by eight seconds, while he was just two-hundredths off the 52.68 he swam in the 100 breast at the Winter Junior Nationals in December.

The girls’ 50 breast was a nail-biter, with Longhorn Aquatics’ Grace Rabb (27.90), 18, out-battling 14-year-old Grace Koenig-Song by just 0.08. Rabb, a Florida commit, snagged the 100 breast gold medal yesterday in 1:00.11. Rabb has been under 1:00 before in that event, swimming 59.90 in the event at Winter Juniors.

Koenig-Song, who swims for Nasa Wildcat Aquatics, broke the national age group record by 0.01. She also placed 4th in yesterday’s 100 breast, hitting a time of 1:00.68, which put her in the top-10 all time in the 13-14 rankings at 7th.

Aquajets’ Micah Davis, 17, notched his first win of the meet in the boys’ 200 fly. He stopped the clock in 1:43.53 to win over Hinsdale’s Henry Guo (1:44.54) by 1.01 seconds. This is Guo’s 2nd runner-up performance of the meet, as he also touched for silver in the shorter 50 fly distance. Davis’ time was a substantial career best, lowering his previous mark of 1:46.12 from this past December. Davis, a high school junior, will head to Virginia in the fall of 2026.

16-year-old Alyssa Sagle of Nation’s Capital dominated the girls’ 100 back, finishing in a time of 52.04. She was a bit off her fastest-ever 51.71, but she was closer to that benchmark in prelims with a 51.77. She won the 200 back on night one, checking-in at 1:51.73 in that race, which lowered her previous best of 1:52.02 to move up to 15th all-time in the girls’ 15-16 age group.

The 800 free relay title went to Academy Bullets Swim Club at 7:10.59, thanks to their team of Rebecca Rentz (1:47.07), Isabelle Beu (1:48.48), Avery Luedke (1:46.54), and Paige Kowal (1:48.50).

Nation’s Capital closed out the session with a relatively comfortable win in the boys’ 200 free relay, as Andrew Vanas (20.25), Yaron Li (20.09), Joshua Donovan (20.06) and Joshua Howat (19.69) combined for a winning time of 1:20.09.
