Kenyon Women Have Broken 3 NCAA DIII Relay Records so Far in Indianapolis

2022 NCAA DIVISION III CHAMPIONSHIPS

Kenyon is leading the women’s standings through the first two days of the 2022 NCAA Division III Championships, thanks in part to their stellar relay performances. Kenyon has won all three of the relays competed so far in the meet, breaking the NCAA Division III Record in all 3 relays.

WOMEN’S 200 FREESTYLE RELAY – FINALS

  • NCAA Record: Emory (2017): 1:30.52

In the 200 free relay, Kenyon’s Alexandra White, Sydney Geboy, Crile Hart, and Emmie Mirus teamed up to clip the previous DIII record, which was held by Emory from 5 years ago. Here is the split comparison between Kenyon tonight and Emory’s record relay:

WOMEN’S 200 MEDLEY RELAY – FINALS

  • NCAA Record: Denison (2019): 1:40.11

Podium:

  1. Kenyon, 1:39.59
  2. Emory, 1:39.89
  3. MIT, 1:40.81

Freestyle Emmie Mirus (22.18) Gabriella Nutter (22.97)
FINAL TIME 1:39.59 1:40.11

With the 400 free and 800 free relay remaining, could Kenyon not only sweep the relays, but break all 5 records as well? They have a good shot in the 400 free relay, where they are the top seed, and it’s certainly conceivable they break the 3:18.46 record. They have their work cut out for them in the 800 free, however, where Kenyon is the 4th seed, and by a significant margin.

Emory has also gone under the old national record in those 3 relays, but has just gotten out-touched by Kenyon each time. Some great swims by both teams.
