2025 NCAA Division I Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships

The 2025 Women’s Division I NCAA Championships have concluded. Highlighting the list of swims you might have missed on day 4 is Gena Jorgenson. The Nebraska junior came into the meet as the 13 seed and swam out of the afternoon heats. She was entered with a 15:56.70 but dropped over six seconds to finish 6th overall in a final time of a 15:49.99.

Wisconsin’s Paige McKenna also swam a top time out of the 1650 freestyle heats. McKenna finished 9th overall in a 15:52.21. That dropped over eight and a half seconds from her season best.

Also swimming a time you might have missed was Charlotte Wilson. The Virginia freshman entered the meet as the 26 seed with a time of a 1:52.60. She posted a lifetime best 1:51.51 for 12th in prelims before dropping even more time in finals to finish 11th in a 1:51.28.

USC’s Minna Abraham swam to a lifetime best in the 100 freestyle. She broke 47 for the first time swimming a 46.95 100 free to finish 5th. She was seeded coming into the meet with a 47.34 from Big Tens last month. Her best time coming into the season was a 47.69.

Indiana senior Brearna Crawford swam a 2:05.66 to finish 3rd in the 200 breaststroke. She dropped from her lifetime best of a 2:06.86 that she swam at 2022 Big Tens. Crawford notably finished 17th in the event a year ago, just missing out on finals but showed her improvement in the last year tonight.

She also has dropped from Big 10s to NCAAs every year which is very impressive in the mile in particular.
