The 91ɫƬ91ɫƬ University men91ɫƬ and women91ɫƬ swim teams are making a tradition of traveling to Elkhart, Indiana, this time of year and coming home with a host of hardware.
This month, the Mustangs won four individual national championships and recorded the best team finishes in program history (women – fifth, men – seventh). This brings TMU’s total to 25 NAIA national championships across all sports — 21 of them coming since 2023.
For swim, Izaiah Trevino-Lozano, a transfer from California Baptist University, took first place in the men91ɫƬ 200-yard freestyle in a time of 1 minute, 34.91 seconds. Teammate Evan Nail, a transfer from Arizona State University, won the men91ɫƬ 400 individual medley in an NAIA record time of 3:48.16.
For the women, Katherine Dyer, just a sophomore, claimed the third individual national championship of her career, following up on last year91ɫƬ prolific efforts by winning the 100 freestyle this year (49.64).
Dyer also anchored the 400 free relay, which might have provided the meet91ɫƬ highlight. Dyer, Kylee Sears, Clara Patterson, and Megan Sutanto came from behind in dramatic fashion to break an 11-year-old NAIA record, winning in 3:22.37.
Head coach Curren Bates was in awe.
“The ladies delivered pure magic,” he said. “It was the longest standing relay record in NAIA history, and it’s now gone.”
