For the first time since 2014, the Drury men returned to the top of the Division II standings as they claimed the 2025 Men’s NCAA Division II team title. The Panthers were in a close race with Tampa, the defending champions, and pulled away from the Spartans during the final day of the meet.
Drury took over the lead during the second night of finals. The next day, the team briefly surrendered the lead back to the Spartans but regained control by the end of the session. The Panthers had a 45-point lead over Tampa heading into the final session and locked up the title after a win in the 200 breaststroke. Drury scored 525 points for their title and ended up with a 74-point margin of victory over the Spartans.
This is the 23rd national championship in team history and the 21st under head coach Brian Reynolds.
Sophomore Ivan Adamchuk exploded at this meet. After making the 100 and 200 backstroke ‘A’ finals as a freshman last season, Adamchuk wasted no time earning his first individual NCAA title. He won the 200 IM on the first night of finals with individual events, swimming 1:43.19.
Adamchuk swept the backstroke events. He became the seventh man in Division II history to break 46 seconds in prelims of the 100 backstroke, swimming 45.93. He and his teammate Alvaro Zornoza Quiros maintained their 1-2 position from prelims in the final, clocking 46.06 and 46.15 to flex the Panthers’ backstroke depth. They did so again in the 200 backstroke, finishing 1-3 with Adamchuk picking up his third win of the week in 1:41.18 and Zornoza Quiros swimming 1:42.37.
Adamchuk led off Drury’s NCAA DII record-setting 400 medley relay. In a thrilling race against conference rivals McKendree, Adamchuk, Davi Mourao, Alejandro Villarejo, and Lucas Minuer broke the division mark they set at midseason, swimming 3:06.75. Later, Mourao’s win in the 200 breaststroke gave the Panthers a 50-point lead in the team standings with just diving and the 400 free relay to go, clinching the title.
Transfer diver Israel Zavaleta played a crucial role in the team’s success. He won the 1-meter and 3-meter boards, the former by just 1.25 points, contributing 40 points to the Panthers’ win.
