The Delaware women captured their first ASUN team title by just 8 points over Florida Gulf Coast with 1,627 points in their first season in the conference, while on the men’s side both Queens and Florida Atlantic scored an identical 782.5 points to earn the team title. This win marks the Royals’ second straight and FAU’s first in the ASUN. The men’s title came down to an unfortunate DQ from the Royals on the final race of the meet, with FAU taking advantage of the situation and claiming the 40 points that separated them from Queens to earn a men’s team title.
Men’s Recap
FAU trialed Queens by 40 points heading into the 400 free relay. With Queens only needing to finish the race legally to win the men’s title outright, a disqualification on the Royals helped FAU complete a two-spot jump in the team standings on the day and tie the Royals’ team total with a win to close out the meet with a 400 free relay title in 2:52.64. Leyton Roe (43.78), Daniel Laureyssens (41.88), Noah Reeves (42,82), and James Shevchenko (44.16) topped the final results and made program history by securing the Owls their first ASUN title.
Gardner-Webb’s Agustin Orechia clocked a meet record in his winning efforts in the men’s 200 back, topping SMU’s Cotton Fields‘ 2024 mark of 1:43.79 with his time of 1:43.15. Delaware’s Kal Levterov finished runner-up in 1:43.92, just over a tenth of a second off of that former meet record time.
The men’s 1650 came down to the final stroke, as Delaware’s Cody Lonsberry narrowly reached the final wall first in 15:25.13, just a tenth over Queens’ Akos Horvath in 15:25.23. Both times marked career bests, as Lonsberry dropped nearly five seconds from his former best from the YMCA national Short Course Championships in April in 15:29.96.
Daniel Laureyssens continued his perfect individual showing for FAU by winning the men’s 100 free in 42.59, clocking his career best time by almost two tenths from his swim at the Patriot Invitational in 42.77.
Old Dominion’s Bryce Mortimer held off Queens’ Matheus Teixeira Przewalla‘s lifetime best effort (1:56.08)Â to win the 200 breast by six hundredths, as Mortimer touched in 1:56.02, marking his fastest time of the season.
Women’s Recap
Opening the final night of action, Delaware’s Lauren Hartel and Queens’ Leonie Tenzer each notched lifetime bests in a battle atop the 1650 free finals, as it would be Hartel taking the win by just over nine-tenths in 16:30.48; Tenzer finished just behind in 16:31.40.
FGCU swept the top three in the women’s 100 free, as Jasmin Kroll (49.41), Leah Gentry-Tuney (49.71), and Libby Russum (49.84) notched the only sub-50-second times in the event. That swim for Kroll was his first timedrop in this event since these championships in 2024, when she touched in 49.42.
Delaware picked up a 1-3 finish in the women’s 200 back, as Angi Ragazzoni took the second and a half win in 1:56.82, her teammate Aleksandra Dimitrova was just eight hundredths off of 2nd place in 1:58.29.
FGCU’s Aislyn Barnett nabbed the women’s 200 breast crown in 2:11.40; a pair of Blue Hens followed in Piper Price (2:13.21) and Bri Cottingham (2:13.72).
In the meet’s final races, it was the FGCU women making one final charge to get past Delaware, as Kroll (49.68), Russum (49.83), Nadia Helm (50.10), and Gentry-Tuney (49.07) took the win in the women’s 400 free relay, touching in 3:18.68, two tenths better than Queens in 3:18.88. Delaware finished 3rd in 3:21.57, securing the women’s team title.
Queen’s looked like the were about to be the outright winner in the title, however on the final relay Queen’s anchor was DQed with an egregious call for early take off. No challenges and no option for video review. The swimmers were informed he swung his arms too early? All I’ve ever known is as long as your two feet are on the block you can do whatever you want until the swimmer touches the wall. FAU got to keep the trophy, got to keep the winning shirts, all while Queens got theirs “in the mail”. Congrats to both teams, however this absolutely has to sting for QU men.
Can you provide the DQ slip or some documentation of the “swung his arms too early”? Or have the swimmer who was told that email me? That would certainly be something we’d pursue because that’s not a rule, but I’m also skeptical that this is why they were DQ’ed.
I was there. This is the first I heard that they DQed because of “an arm swing”. On the deck they were talking about early takeoff. I don’t believe the ESPN feed was wide enough to show that lane.
The two 1650 races sprinting down to the wire were epic. The building was rocking.
What an exciting conf meet on both sides! But they should have broken the tie with a swim off 🙂
Wow, a men’s tie and a women’s 8’point victory? That is incredible!
