It’s the last night of competition in Greensboro.

To kick things off, the Johns Hopkins distance duo of Kellen Roddy and Kristin Cornish will feature in fastest heats of the 1650 freestyle. They are the defending champions in the men’s and women’s events respectively.

In the men’s 100 free, 50 free champion Tobe Obochi became the 2nd fastest performer in D3 history this morning. He has a shot at winning his second title in this event and completing the sprint sweep at these championships, but he won’t be without a challenge as a pair of Owls will look to take him down. Djordje Dragojlovic is the defending champion in this event and is seeded 3rd, right behind his teammate Aleksa Dobric.

The women’s 200 back is projected to be between Kate Augustyn, the 100 back champion, and Sophia Verkleeren, the defending champion. Augustyn is the newly-minted national record-holder in the 100 back, but Verkleeren was first through the heats.

In the men’s 200 breast, Jake Meyer and Derek Maas will meet once again. Maas won the 100 breast last night, but Meyer is the top seed heading into tonight’s final.

The final team finish could come down to the 400 free relay, as there are a number of close point totals after yesterday’s competition. The Kenyon women will grab a ton of points tonight based on their prelims performance, but Denison has two divers in the championship final.

On the men’s side Emory appears to be a lock to grab their third-straight title, but there will be a lot of jostling to stay in the top 10 as the points spread is quite close.

Let’s hope women’s D1 doesn’t crash the site too many times, as this looks to be an exciting session with a lot of close races. Here we go!
