CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Queens University of Charlotte swimming programs opened the 2025 Kellianne Nagy Fall Frenzy Invite with a commanding performance on Thursday night, highlighted by a record-breaking swim from the Royals women in the 800-yard freestyle relay.
Queens’ A-relay of Leonie Tenzer, Abigail Zboran, Sabina Kupcova, and Madeline Foster raced to a winning time of 7:11.32, breaking both the meet record and the Queens program record. Tenzer set the tone on the leadoff before Zboran surged with a 1:45.88 split to push the Royals ahead of the field. Kupcova held strong through the third leg, and Foster brought the relay home as Queens finished nearly nine seconds clear of the competition. Queens’ B-relay added additional scoring with a ninth-place finish in 7:38.45.
On the men’s side, the Royals continued their momentum with a runner-up performance in the 800 freestyle relay. The team of Daniel Meszaros, Lance Young, TJ Spokas, and Matheus Przewalla clocked 6:24.88, staying within striking distance of Wingate throughout the race and securing a strong early finish for the squad. Queens’ B-relay also impressed, taking fourth in 6:31.97 as the men opened the meet with valuable depth.
