Bick<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nAn impressive streak at the NCAA Division II swimming and diving championships came to a close on Saturday, as Queens University of Charlotte ended Drury\u2019s 10-year reign as men\u2019s team champions. Queens beat Drury by just 16 points as the Royals did not have the victory in hand until the final event. On the women\u2019s side, Queens was much more dominant, beating Drury by 55 points to keep Drury from winning its sixth women\u2019s title in seven years. A staggering <a href=http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/who-says-ncaa-division-ii-swimming-isnt-fast\/ target=_blank>23 division records were broken<\/a>, including three in individual events by Matthew Josa, two by Russian breaststroker Anton Lobanov and four by Patricia Castro Ortega. Josa and Lobanov made history by cracking into the list of top 10 performers of all time, with Josa doing it in the 100 fly and Lobanov making it in both breaststrokes. Division II swimming has turned a corner this year, with more than a couple of swimmers helping it to raise to a level closer to Division I competition.<\/p>\n<h2>The Week That Was #3: United Arab Emirates holds 10K race amid boycott by American swimmers<\/h2>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_56592\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Alex-Meyer-e1426525093847.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-56592\" data-attachment-id=\"56592\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/week-college-swimming-turns-corner\/alex-meyer\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Alex-Meyer-e1426525093847.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,798\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Griffin Scott&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS REBEL T5i&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1402736742&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;116&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;160&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0008&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Alex Meyer\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Griffin Scott&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Alex-Meyer-e1426525093847-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Alex-Meyer-e1426525093847-1024x681.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Alex-Meyer-e1426525093847-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"Photo Courtesy: Griffin Scott\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-56592\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-56592\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Griffin Scott<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nThe second leg of FINA\u2019s 10K World Cup series <a href=http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/69-athletes-attend-usa-boycotted-fina-10k-world-cup-race-united-arab-emirates\/ target=_blank>took place in the United Arab Emirates on Friday<\/a> in Abu Dhabi amid a whirlwind of controversy. This was the first time the country has hosted a 10K swim since Fran Crippen died during a race in 2010, and FINA\u2019s decision to not only allow the country to host the event but to allow the same race director to run the competition caused Alex Meyer to lead a boycott of the event by his fellow American open water national team members. Other top swimmers around the world expressed disappointment at the decision as well, and the competition was fairly light on top talent. France\u2019s Alex Reymond won his first World Cup title, while multiple medalist Rachele Bruni of Italy won the women\u2019s race. The prize purse was tripled for this event, which many believe was done to entice people to attend the event.<\/p>\n<h2>The Week That Was #2: 2017 world championships moved to Hungary<\/h2>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_116037\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/katinka-hosszu-doha-2014-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-116037\" data-attachment-id=\"116037\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/katinka-hosszu-nearly-cracks-55-world-record-rocket-100-back-worlds\/katinka-hosszu-doha-2014-4-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/katinka-hosszu-doha-2014-4.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1024,683\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Katinka Hosszu Doha 2014 100 Back World Record\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Katinka Hosszu Doha 2014 100 Back World Record&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: FINA Doha 2014&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/katinka-hosszu-doha-2014-4-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/katinka-hosszu-doha-2014-4.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/katinka-hosszu-doha-2014-4-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"Katinka Hosszu Doha 2014 100 Back World Record\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-116037\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-116037\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: FINA Doha 2014<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nFINA has picked <a href=http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/budapest-replaces-guadalajara-2017-fina-world-championship-host\/ target=_blank>Budapest as the site of the 2017 world championships<\/a>, replacing Guadalajara as host. The Mexican city withdrew because the cost of organizing the meet \u2013 about $100 million \u2013 exceeded the amount of money the federal government could pay. Many believed FINA would pick a new city that had experience hosting such an event, and Budapest has a history of running well-organized versions of the European championships. The city was already picked to host the 2021 championships, and now it looks like FINA will not allow Hungary to host worlds twice. The bidding process to host the 2021 worlds has now begun, and the winner will likely be announced this summer when FINA meets before the start of the world championships. No doubt the Hungarian public will flock to the pool in droves to see superstar Katinka Hosszu as she works to continue her place at the top of the podium by the time the meet begins in about 30 months.<\/p>\n<h2>The Week That Was #1: Olympic champion Camille Muffat dies in helicopter crash<\/h2>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_127334\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/camille-muffat1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-127334\" data-attachment-id=\"127334\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/week-college-swimming-turns-corner\/camille-muffat-3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/camille-muffat1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1217,929\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"camille-muffat\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Camille Muffat&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Greg Smith &#8211; USA Today Sports&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/camille-muffat1-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/camille-muffat1-1024x782.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/camille-muffat1-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"Camille Muffat\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-127334\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-127334\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Greg Smith &#8211; USA Today Sports<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nThe swimming community was shocked last week with the news that <a href=http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/camille-muffat-french-olympic-gold-medalist-dies-helicopter-crash\/ target=_blank>24-year-old French swimmer Camille Muffat was killed in Argentina<\/a> when the helicopter she was riding in collided in mid-air with another helicopter. Ten people, including Muffat, were killed when the helicopters collided while filming a French reality show in South America. Muffat retired from competitive swimming just nine months ago, ending a career that included an Olympic gold medal in the 400 freestyle at the 2012 Olympics and several other international medals. A public service was held in France last week to honor Muffat, and FINA expressed its deep sorrow over the loss. It\u2019s likely that the upcoming French national championships will pause to honor Muffat\u2019s legacy, where she likely inspired a new generation of swimmers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TUCSON \u2013 We\u2019re two weeks into the USA collegiate championship season, and we\u2019ve seen many performances that have defied expectations.
