Streaks Alive…Mostly

Queens, Emory and Indian River continued their winning streaks at their respective college national championships, but Denison, Savannah College of Art and Design and Keiser are ready to start (or restart) some streaks of their own.

At the NCAA D2 Championships, both the Queens men and women ran away with their fourth straight title, while the Emory women’s team continued their winning streak to nine at the NCAA D3 Championships. The Denison men reclaimed the throne from the Emory men after finishing third in 2017.

One year after debuting their new swim team, the Keiser University men are officially NAIA Champions, while the women from Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) collected their fourth women’s title ever.

The NJCAA Championships belonged to none other than the Indian River State College men and women as the men collected their 44th straight title and the women collected their 36th.
