Queens (Charlotte) put on a show on day three as both its men’s and women’s squads finished the day at the NCAA Division II Championships with leads.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Nova Southeastern’s Anton Lobanov absolutely smoked the 100-yard breast en route to moving to sixth all time in the event’s history<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Queens women pushed their advantage to 422.5-356.5 over defending champions Drury. \u00a0Wingate (248), Nova Southeastern (180) and UCSD (159) rounded out the top five.<\/p>\n

The men’s race is a lot closer and will likely come down to the wire. \u00a0Queens leads defending champions Drury, 316.5-302.5.<\/p>\n

Lindenwood (270), Grand Valley (230) and Wayne State (223) are the other teams that have cleared 200 points.<\/p>\n

Queen’s Patricia Castro Ortega collected her third NCAA D2 title of the meet as she smashed the NCAA D2 record and field in the 500-yard free.<\/p>\n

Having already won the 200-yard IM and 200-yard free, Castro Ortega charged her way to a 4:43.37 in the 500-yard freestyle finale.<\/p>\n

That swim thumped the previous record of 4:45.69 set by Southern Connecticut State’s Kristen Frost back in 2008.<\/p>\n

Queens also went 1-2 with Lillian Gordy taking second in 4:50.70, while Drury went 3-4-7.<\/p>\n

Allie Reynolds (4:52.07), Sarah Pullen (4:53.33) and Megan Ouhl (4:53.68) all scored for the defending champions.<\/p>\n

Queens led 329.5-300.5 following the event.<\/p>\n

Queens swept the 500 frees as Nick Arakelian overtook West Chester’s Victor Polyakov for the men’s 500-yard freestyle title this evening.<\/p>\n
Trailing with 100-yards to go, Arakelian managed to win, 4:20.98 to 4:21.25. Both swims beat the previous NCAA D2 mark of 4:21.48 set by Wingate’s Iaroslav Denysenko back in 2012.<\/p>\n
That’s Arakelian’s third victory of the meet already with wins in the 1000-yard free and 400-yard IM.<\/p>\n
Florida Southern’s Juan Tolosa rounded out the top three in 4:24.32.<\/p>\n
Queens led Drury following the event, 231.5-213.<\/p>\n

While not as impressive as his stunning swims in the 100 fly and 200 IM, Josa still managed to take down the NCAA D2 record of 1:42.99 set by Drury’s Jun Han Kim in 2011.<\/p>\n
Nova Southeastern’s Thiago Sickert hit the wall second tonight in 1:44.42 with Grand Valley’s Gianni Ferrero taking a close third in 1:44.52.<\/p>\n

Women’s 800 free relay<\/strong><\/p>\n
Queens put an exclamation mark on an amazing day of swimming by obliterating the NCAA D2 record in the 800 free relay.<\/p>\n
The foursome of Patricia Castro Ortega (1:46.70), Lillian Gordy (1:48.43), McKenzie Stevens (1:49.89) and Caroline Arakelian (1:49.67) threw down a sizzling time of 7:14.69.<\/p>\n
That performance cleared the previous record by a long shot as Drury set the mark with a 7:20.08 just a year ago.<\/p>\n
Drury mitigated some of the team-point scoring damage by taking second as Leah Reed, Janet Yu, Kay Gieseke and Sarah Pullen took second in 7:20.44.<\/p>\n
UCSD’s Julia Toronczak, Maddy Huttner, Dari Watkins and Natalie Tang placed third in 7:22.44.<\/p>\n
Queens will go into the final day of competition with a 422.5-356.5 lead.<\/p>\n
