Johns Hopkins is no longer a part of Bluegrass Mountain. In fact, they don’t have a conference 🙁

DIII North Coast meet should be another two team nail biter. Two of the top D3 teams facing off in advance of the NCAAs. Should be a fun one to watch.

Denison will destroy Kenyon

Don’t be so sure that Denison will “destroy” Kenyon. Kenyon has been swimming much better lately. It should definitely be very close. This is what it is all about with two of the best DIII teams in the country. Anything can happen.

Thanks for all your hard work I know it’s a tough job and am very thankful that their are sites out their like this one unlike when I was swimming and had to wait for a monthly dose of swimming from a certain magazine that will not be named on this site?. Please keep up the hard work just a little sensitive being that even from an NCAAstandpoint we get the short end of the stick. Our athletes work as hard as the rest and deserve to be treated accordingly! Again thank you for everything Chou do for our sport and the coverage and exposure that you give out deserving athletes. Looking forward to your coverage.

Hey what comes after 1……… we’ll apparently 3 if you are SwimSwam. Sure would be nice if Division 2 got the respect that it has earned. I understand that Division 3 has more teams but look at the times that are being put up in Division 2 and let’s stop treating it like the under card of swimming. I’m sure it’s not on purpose but every year the same old thing. Let me end by saying that Division 3 and 1 deserve all the coverage they get but Division 2 deserves the same amount of respect.

Man, and I thought the ACC were a bunch of whiners….can’t post anything about college swimming on this site without someone from D2 complaining that they’re not getting enough coverage.

I agree with DIVISION2COACH though on this one. D3 and D1 get a lot of hype on here. D2 is mistreated regardless of your thoughts.

maybe if D2 hadn’t turned into the international grown man smuggling championships there’d be more interest.

Division 2 Coach – Our Division II primer is on its way. Compiling information and links for every single college conference in the nation takes considerable time and effort, and that’s in addition to all of the breaking news around the world our staff is covering everyday. Be patient.
