Women’s Championship Recap

NSU’s fifth Top-5 performance at the NCAA meet would be the one in which they finally broke through. The Sharks’ eight individual championships and three relay championships are the most for any SSC program in the NCAA finals. For the first time in SSC history, three teams finished Top-10 at the national meet. Following NSU in the standings was Lynn in seventh place and Tampa in 10th place.

The Sharks' excellent finish was helped by three individual titles from Emily Trieschmann in the 500, 1000, and 1650 Free. Trieschmann is the first SSC men's or women's swimmer to win NCAA individual trophies since the league began sponsoring the sport in 2010-11. The only student-athletes from SSC schools before the sport's adoption by the SSC to win three trophies at a championship were Tampa's Chelsea Hastings (2005) and Lauren Atteberry (1988). NSU's Savanna Best and Emilia Ronningdal also collected multiple individual titles. Best took home the 100 and 200 Breaststroke trophies, and Ronningdal won the 200 IM and 200 Free.
