Vineet Ranade, a senior from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute, Indiana, has been awarded the Elite 90 Award for the Division III Men’s Swimming and Diving Championships.
The Elite 90 award is given each year to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative grade-point average who competes at the respective NCAA Championships in the sport. To be eligible, students must have been a member of their team for at least two years and be an active participant at the championship competition. Ties are broken by number of credits.
Ranade majors in computer engineering and holds a 4.0 grade point average. He is the first athlete from Rose-Hulman swimming and diving to win the award. He is also only the second student-athlete from his university to win the award, joining men’s golfer Max Gogel, who earned it during the 2020-21 season.
Furthermore, Ranade is only the fourth student-athlete from the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference to earn the Elite 90 award.
Ranade is also a CSCAA 2nd-Team Scholar All-American.
At this year’s NCAA Championships, Ranade’s highest finishes came in the 200 IM (1:48.92) and 200 breaststroke (2:01.00), where he touched 17th. He also contested the 200 freestyle (1:39.02), where he came 24th overall.
Ranade was an All-American in the 200 free last year, where he placed 16th in a time of 1:39.47. He holds six individual Rose-Hulman school records: the 50 free (20.35), 100 free (44.72), 200 free (1:37.63), 100 back (49.59), 200 breast (1:59.50), and 200 IM (1:48.61).
