Redlands Men's Swimming and Diving prepared for SCIAC Championships

REDLANDS, Calif. – The University of Redlands Men's Swimming and Diving Team will compete at the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) Swimming and Diving Championships hosted by Claremont-Mudd-Scripps (CMS) over the next four days, Wednesday-Saturday, February 15-18. The championships will be the final opportunity for the Bulldogs to qualify for the NCAA Division III National Championships. Tickets are no longer being sold online, only on-site.

Redlands will be looking to improve upon their fifth place finish last season as interim head coach Jonathan Champagne will have his first opportunity to coach the Bulldogs in the championships.

The Bulldogs have 11 individuals/relay teams that are top-eight seeds: 200 Medley Relay (8th, 1:34.78), 800 Free Relay (3rd, 6:54.25), 200 Free Relay (5th, 1:24.68), 400 Medley Relay (7th, 3:27.48), 400 Free Relay (5th, 3:06.58), Tom Jansen in the 500 Free (2nd, 4:34.40) and the 1650 Free (2nd, 15:57.66), Blake Eddow in the 500 Free (7th, 4:40.43) and the 200 Free (4th, 1:41.11), and Lucas Walker in the 200 IM (5th, 1:53.04) and the 200 Breast (7th, 2:04.53).

Redlands looks to send male athletes to the NCAA Division III National Championships for the first time since Jeff Depew in 2015. Jansen is currently the only Bulldog with a qualifying time, a "B" standard in the 1650 Free.

Below is a table of all the qualifying times for each event. The athlete must meet the "A" Standard to automatically qualify for the NCAA Championships, and if they only meet the "B" Standard, they will have wait and see if they get an at-large invite in their respective event. Not meeting either standard will eliminate them from contention.
