The 2026 ASUN Championships are now underway at the Rosen Aquatic Center in Orlando, FL. Following the first day of the meet, the FGCU women have taken the lead, while the Queens (NC) men are leading the men’s standings.

The meet kicked off with Queens’ Leonie Tenzer winning the women’s 500 free in 4:46.80. Not only did the swim blow away her previous career best of 4:49.24, she also broke the ASUN conference record of 4:47.53. She swam a very consistent race, getting out to a 2:22.06 on the opening 250 yards, then coming home in 2:24.74 on the back half of the race.

Florida Atlantic then saw James Shevchenko win the men’s 500 free, where he stopped the clock in 4:22.74. That swim came in just a hair off his career best of 4:22.60, which he swam back in November at the Patriot Invite.

Queens once again found their way to the top of the podium in the women’s 200 IM, where Abigail Zboran swam a 1:59.84. While Zboran won the race, she was well off her career best. Zboran won the 200 IM in 1:56.06 at last year’s ASUN Champs, which stands as her career best. This year, it was a 1-2 punch for Queens, as Sabina Kupcova came in 2nd with a 2:00.87.

Queens made it a sweep of the 200 IMs, as Matheus Przewalla won the men’s 200 IM in 1:45.65. With the race, Przewalla took about half a second off his career best of 1:46.23, which he swam back in November. He was out fast last night, splitting 22.40 on fly and 26.47 on back for a 48.87 on the opening 100.

FGCU then saw Libby Russum win the women’s 50 free, swimming a 22.50. That swim came after Russum clocked a 22.48 in prelims. Her swims yesterday were just off her career best of 22.33, which she swam at last year’s ASUN Champs.

Florida Atlantic’s Daniel Laureyssens won the men’s 50 free in 19.43. Importantly, Laureyssens tied the NCAA qualifying time while winning the conference title, which qualifies him for NCAAs. Additionally, that swim marks a new career best for Laureyssens, who came into the meet with a personal mark of 19.57.

FGCU took the first women’s relay of the meet, clocking a 1:36.80 in the 200 medley relay. Izzy Ackley (24.05), Cassie Bauer (27.33), Libby Russum (22.93), and Mia Burke (22.49) teamed up to win the race by 1.6 seconds. It was a great performance by FGCU, as they took down the ASUN conference record with their swim last night. Queens came in 2nd, but Libby Livesay‘s 27.19 breast split and Maren Patterson‘s 21.97 free split were both the fastest in the field.

Queens won the men’s 200 medley relay by over a second, finishing 1st with a 1:24.34. Pablo Ortega Navarro (21.68), Cal Bartone (23.52), Emil Harlem (20.07), and Nien Levy (19.07) teamed up to earn the win. They also broke the ASUN conference record with their swim. Importantly, Ortega and Harlem are both freshmen, so this relay should be in good shape for years to come.
