GRAND JUNCTION, Colo.— The Colorado Mesa University swimming and diving teams combined for 16 NCAA Division II Championship provisional qualifying times, three event wins and two other NCAA qualifying marks on the diving boards during a fine season-opening showing on Friday evening here at the Mavs’ El Pomar Natatorium.
Maverick senior Olivia Hansson won both the women’s 200 and 1,000-yard freestyle events while fellow returning all-American Ryan Campbell claimed the men’s 3-meter diving event as part of a 1-2-4-5-6 Maverick finish in that event to lead the Mavericks to strong second place finishes in the first of two weekend Intermountain Shootout meets.
The NCAA Division I and Big 12 Conference BYU Cougars won both titles. Their men out-pointed the Mavs, 252-187 while Adams State University finished a distant third with 28 points in the 3-team, invitational-style meet that awarded team points to the top eight finishers, including no more than four individuals and two relay squads per school.
The women’s scoring chase was much closer as BYU took the win with 224 points, just 18 more than the Mavs. ASU was third with 15 points.
The Mavs got off to a quick start in the swimming events as the women’s 400-yard medley relay team of Abby Uhl, Antonia Leese, Kiara Borchardt and Ada Qunell set CMU’s first NCAA qualifying mark of the season with a time of 3:44.54 (3:44.14-altitude adjusted) to place second. Taylar Hooton also led off the Mavs’ fourth place “B” team with a 100-yard backstroke split of 55.25 seconds (55.15-converted), which also went under the NCAA “B” cut standard for that event.
Hansson then claimed the first of her two wins, holding off a heard of Cougars to take the 200 freestyle win in 1:49.73 (1:48.53-converted), more than four seconds under the NCAA “B” cut standard.
Qunell then continued the momentum with a third place and NCAA “B” cut time of 2:06.56 (2:05.36-converted) in the 200 IM before Hooton took second in the 100 Back with a time of 55.58 seconds.
Antonia Leese, a member of the Mavs’ national-title winning 400 medley relay team in 2025 alongside Borchardt and Qunell, then posted another NCAA “B” cut and second place time of 1:02.82 (1:01.62-converted) in the 100 breaststroke, finishing ahead of newcomer Maya Clise, a transfer from Division I New Mexico. Clise was third in 1:05.29.
The Mavs also went 2-3 in the 200 butterfly as both Tori Bartusiak and Sydnee O’Neil set NCAA “B” cut times. Bartusiak touched in 2:04.32 (2:03.12-converted) while O’Neil finished in 2:04.93 (2:03.73-converted).
Qunell then claimed another second place finish in the 100 IM with a time of 58.11 as the Mavs had five of the top six finishers, including Hooton who was clocked in 58.91 seconds to take third.
Just minutes later, Qunell teamed with Reagan Horn, Borchardt and Bartusiak for a third place time of 1:33.69 in the 200 free relay.
The Mavs then saved their best for last as four different Mavericks set NCAA “B” cut times in the 1,000 freestyle, led by Hansson’s impressive winning time of 10:08.47 (9:57.07-converted), just 2.26 seconds off her own school record and more than seven seconds ahead of the top BYU swimmer Melissa Turlea.
Clise finished fourth in 10:20.90 (10:09.50-converted) while Melaina Howard (10:30.05/10:18.65-converted) and O’Neil (10:31.56/10:20.16-converted) also set NCAA provisional qualifying times. Notably, Clise’s time moved her into the No. 7 position in Maverick history.
The Mavs also had four of the top five finishers in the women’s 1-meter diving competition as reigning Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Diver of the Year Kenya Meyer took second with 242.70 points over six dives. Juli Holt took third with 230.18 points, edging teammate Jenna Hurley, who took fourth with 230.10.
The Maverick men were even better on the 3-meter board as Campbell won the 6-dive competition with 309.98 points. Jax Juarros also eclipsed the NCAA qualifying standard with a runner-up finish and score of 308.85 points.
Meanwhile, 2024 French Olympian Guillaume Guth led the Maverick men’s swimmers, setting NCAA “B” cut times in both the 50 and 200 freestyle events in his collegiate debut. He posted a time of 1:38.42 (1:37.22-converted) in the 200 to take over the No. 10 spot in Maverick history for that discipline before coming back to also take second with a time of 20.11 seconds.
He then went slightly quicker (20.08) as the leadoff man on the Mavs’ 200 free relay squad that also took second in 1:20.32. His relay split moved him into the No. 7 spot in CMU history for the 50 free.
The Mavs also managed a second place finish in the 400 medley relay as Guth anchored the squad that also included Luka Samsonov, Marcos Otero and Oskar Sawicki. The quartet finished in 3:15.65.
Samsonov later finished third in the 100 backstroke with a time of 49.94 seconds while Otero came back to set a 100 breaststroke time of 55.28 (55.18-converted) to finish third in that individual discipline. Otero’s time also eclipsed the NCAA “B” cut standard. He also finished fourth in the 200 IM at 1:52.17 while Samsonov led the Mavs in the 100 IM with a time of 51.77 seconds to place fourth.
CMU freshman Nathan Knobelspiesse also had a nice start to his collegiate career, taking third in the 200 butterfly at 1:51.85, just ahead of fellow freshman Micah Moore’s fourth place time of 1:52.16.
Former Navy Midshipmen Ethan Gluck also finished fourth in the men’s 1000 freestyle, posting a time of 9:48.57.
Another slate of 22 events (11 men’s, 11 women’s) will be contested in the second weekend meet on Saturday, which will begin at 10:30 a.m. That meet will be scored separately from Friday’s and will feature an entirely different slate of events.
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo.— The Colorado Mesa University women won three events while Kiara Borchardt and Oskar Sawicki both set school-records in the non-championship 50-yard butterfly events to lead the Maverick swimming and diving teams to another solid day on Saturday at the El Pomar Natatorium in the second of two Intermountain Shootout weekend meets.
The Mavericks also set eight more NCAA Division II Championship provisional qualifying times in the swimming disciplines while Kenya Meyer won the 1-meter diving competition with an NCAA qualifying mark.
In the process, both Maverick squads finished second in the invitational-style scoring system behind NCAA Division I BYU but comfortably ahead of Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference rival Adams State.
CMU’s women’s battled to the end and scored 203 ½ points, just 23 shy of BYU’s winning total of 226 ½. Adams State was third with 34.
On the men’s side, BYU scored 266 points while the Mavs took second with 160 after recording four second and four third place finishes. Adams State was third with 34.
Olivia Hansson, who won both the 200 and 1,000-yard freestyle events in the first Intermountain Shootout meet on Friday evening, claimed her third victory of the weekend in the 500 free while setting NCAA “B” cut times in both that and the 400 individual medley, an event in which she tied for second place. Teammates Maya Clise and Hanna Sasivarevic also set NCAA provisional qualifying times in the 500 free.
Hansson finished in 4:54.95 (4:45.95-altitude adjusted), just 1.5 seconds off her own school record to take the win by nearly five seconds while Clise finished fifth in 5:08.01 (5:03.01-converted), just ahead of Sasivarevic’s sixth place time of 5:08.83 (5:03.83-converted).
In the 400 IM, Hansson tied for second in 4:31.94 (4:26.94-converted), getting under the NCAA “B” cut standard by more than two seconds.
Clise also had a solid overall day and took second in the 200 breaststroke with a time of 2:21.05 (2:19.85-converted) to move into the No. 10 position in program history. Antonia Leese finished third at 2:21.11 after winning the 50 free to lead the Mavericks to a sweep of the first four places in that event as CMU temporarily surged ahead in the team standings.
Elsewhere, Taylar Hooton, Leese, Borchardt and Ada Qunell took second in the 200 medley relay in 1:42.25 before Qunell came back just two disciplines later to finish second in the 100 free with a NCAA “B” cut time of 50.65 (50.55-converted).
Leese (29.04), Clise (30.55), Ava Bains (30.77) and Georgia Hatzenbeller (30.90) then swept the top four places in the 50 breast before Borchardt broke her own school-record in the 50 fly with a third place time of 25.18, well under her former Maverick standard of 25.39 set as an intermediate split in the 100 fly at last season’s RMAC Championships.
Freshman Abby Uhl then put herself on the national meet consideration list in the 200 backstroke with a second place time of 2:03.62 (2:02.42-converted) before Borchardt added an NCAA “B” cut mark of 55.88 (55.78-converted) in the 50 fly to finish third.
After Clise and Leese’s efforts in the 200 breast, the Maverick’s 400 free relay team of Qunell, Borchardt, Wilkinson and Hansson finished in 3:25.44 to finish third. Qunell went under the NCAA 100 free standard for the second time today on the lead-off leg.
Meanwhile, in the diving well, Meyer won the 11-dive, women’s 3-meter competition with 440.25, easily going over the NCAA qualification standard of 420 points. Jenna Hurley finished second with 417.00 points.
The Maverick men did not when any events but had some quality performances, most notably from 2024 Paris Olympian Guillaume Guth, Sawicki and the diving group.
Guth set a 100 free leadoff split of 43.30 seconds (43.20-converted) seconds to help the Mavs’ 400 medley relay team finish second in 2:58.01. Guth’s time was more than two seconds under the NCAA “B” standard and just 0.12 seconds off the “A” standard. He also moved into the No. 2 spot of program history only behind fellow Paris Olympian Harry Stacey from last year.
Meanwhile, Sawicki, a Warsaw Poland native who transferred from Indianapolis, where he was a multiple-time all-American, took second in the 50 butterfly with a time of 21.76 seconds, eclipsing Stacey’s former Maverick record of 21.81 in that event, a non-championship discipline.
In diving, the Mavericks took five of the top six spots in the men’s 1-meter event with Jax Juarros leading the way with a score of 425.85 points on 11 dives. Ryan Campbell, who won Friday’s 3-meter event, was third with 420.08 points ahead of David Roethlisberger (419.40), Wyatt Hermanson (407.10) and Giani Benoit (376.50).
The Mavs also picked up a second place finish from Marcos Otero in the 50 breaststroke, who touched in 25.20 seconds and had other third place finishes from the 200-yard medley relay team of Luka Samsonov, Otero, Sawicki and Guth, who finished in 1:28.30 as well Richard Schmiedefeld in the 200 back (1:49.99) and Aron Jonsson in the 200 breast (2:03.22).
The CMU squads will take the next two weekends off from competition but continue their training. They will race again when they women will take on Colorado State and Denver on Friday, Oct. 24 in Fort Collins before the men head to Golden for a RMAC dual against the Colorado School of Mines on Saturday, Oct. 25.
