NJCAA Championships

Quality & Quantity: Indian River’s Winning Formula

By Andy Ross


That’s the same winning formula that Indian River’s men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams have been using for nearly a half-century at the NJCAA Championships. The Pioneer men now have won 47 straight team titles; the women, 39—and 43 of the past 47.


MEN’S RACE: INDIAN RIVER 1,340, IOWA CENTRAL 690.5, SOUTHWESTERN OREGON 598

Indian River State College’s men continue to have the longest unbroken U.S. championship winning streak in any sport at the collegiate level. They did it by winning 20 of the 25 NJCAA Championship events at their home pool in Fort Pierce, Fla., April 28-May 1. They also qualified 46.67% of all of the swimmers who competed in the A-finals.

Coach Sion Brinn’s men snatched the top four places in two races, top three in five, and top two in 11 (including both diving events). And they swept all five relays.

Michael Deans (breast), Brennan Hammond (fly) and Dean Walker (free) swam with backstrokers Nicholas Fauteux (200) and Jhon Moncada (400) to win both medleys (1:30.67, 3:17.59). IRSC dominated the freestyle relays, winning the 200 by 4+ seconds (1:21.57—Fauteux, Walker, Luke Altmann, John Zeiger), 400 by 6+ seconds (3:00.61—Altmann, Caleb Brandon, Walker, Zeiger) and 800 by 11+ seconds (6:41.70—Brandon, Chance Conde, Hammond, Zeiger).

IRSC’s Aramis Rivera was named Male Swimmer of the Meet, sweeping the 100-200-400 yard IMs (50.21, 1:48.63, 3:54.56) and finishing second in the 200 breast to teammate Michael Deans (1:56.82). Taking top honors in diving was TJ Ray, who swept the 1- and 3-meter boards (402.35, 426.80).

 

WOMEN’S RACE: INDIAN RIVER 1,374, SOUTHWESTERN OREGON 674, IOWA CENTRAL 562
Indian River’s women were just as impressive as the men. They won 19 of 25 events and qualified 48% of all of the swimmers who competed in A-finals. They took the top four places in seven events, top three in nine, top two in 13 (including the two diving events)… PLUS the top six swimmers in the women’s 500 yard free! And IRSC swept the relays.

Catherine Royden-Turner (back), Rylee Woelk (breast), Taryn Dailey (fly) and Sydney Weatherspoon (free) joined forces to sweep the medley relays (200 1:45.50, 400 3:53.53), with Royden-Turner, Dailey and Weatherspoon combining with Kailea Green to win the 200 freestyle relay (1:37.15) by nearly four seconds.

Dailey and Green also swam on the winning 400 free relay (3:32.36) with Victoria Ortiz and Lillian Lewis, while Ortiz, Green and Lewis followed leadoff swimmer Esther Rydbeck to win the 800 free relay (7:41.21).

Dailey and Ortiz also won four individual events apiece and shared honors for Female Co-Swimmers of the Meet.
