The Grand Canyon University men’s and women’s swimming teams closed out the 2011-12 campaign with fifth-place finishes at the NCAA Division II Swimming Championships at the Mansfield ISD Natatorium in Mansfield, Tex.
The women finished with 218 points, just four points shy of fourth place and a spot on the podium. The finish was the best for them in school history and a five-spot jump from 10th-place last season.
The men rallied tonight to finish in a fifth-place tie. They missed their second-straight podium finish by just 10 points.
Eetu Karvonen was once again the highlight of the night for the Antelopes. Karvonen, who yesterday won the 100 breast championship, took home the NCAA title in the 200 breast with a dominate performance and new national record. Karvonen stopped the clock at 1:56.11, a full second better than the previous national record.
The men’s 400 relay team of Buddy Turner, Kyle Shores, Artem Tretiakov and Michael Branning just missed the NCAA title for the second-straight year in the night’s final event, finishing second with a 2:57.39. Earlier in the evening, Branning won the 100 free consolation finals with a 44.37. His time would have finished fifth in the championship finals. Tretiakov finished 13th (44.78) and Turner 15th (45.22) in the same event. Everton Kida swam a school-record 1:48.96 to take 14th in the 200 back. Ralph Herberg took home 12th in the 200 breast with a 2:00.63.
Inha Kotsur got the women off to a great start tonight with a fourth-place finish in the 1650 free (16:57.53). Catherine Polito posted a 51.43 in the 100 free, good enough for 14th. Stacey Wymer made it to the consolation finals in the 200 back, finishing 16th with a 2:05.36. Polito, Stacey Rudman, Samantha Magnani and Mychala Lynch closed out the meet with a sixth-place finish in the 400 free relay (3:25.79).
The numbers inside the championships are impressive, as the Antelopes had 46 total All-American awards, 10 individual and 36 in the five contested relay events. Of the 21 swimmers that GCU sent to the championships, nine of the women and eight of the men earned All-American honors. GCU earned an additional 23 Honorable Mention All-American awards at the championships.
