New York University's men's swimming & diving team finished
Day Three of the NCAA Division III Championships. The four-day
meet is being held Wednesday-Saturday, March 19-22, at the Indiana
University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) Natatorium in
Indiana.
Junior diver Austen Blease finished eighth in
the preliminary men's one-meter competition, earning All-American
status and a spot in the final competition. During the men's
one-meter finals, Blease earned a score of 482.20 to finish in
sixth place.
"I could not be prouder of how absolutely amazing Austen performed
today," said Diving Coach Scott Donie. "This places
him among the best divers in the country, which is where he
obviously deserves to be."
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Senior Charlie Wu placed 27th in the men's
100-yard backstroke with a time of 50.96.

the men's 100-yard breaststroke with a time of 57.57.
"No one made it back finals," said Head Coach Trevor
Miele, "We had some really solid swims today, but they just
weren't our primary events."
