CAMBRIDGE, Mass. \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0A combined 21 incoming freshmen – 10 men and 11 women – will be added to the MIT men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams this fall, as announced by Mary Frances Wagley<\/strong> ’47 Head Coach Dani Korman<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“I am extremely excited to welcome the Class of 2021 to our swimming and diving family. This class is incredibly talented and I am privileged to have the opportunity to work with them each day and help them grow over the next four years.\u00a0I cannot wait to see their contributions to the 2017-18 season and beyond. Our entire staff is proud to call them Engineers!”<\/p>\n

Both teams capped their respective seasons by winning the New England Women’s and Men’s Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Swimming and Diving Championship, along with finishing in the top-10 at the NCAA Division III Championship. The women registered their best finish in program history at nationals as they took fifth place scoring 165 points, while the men claimed eighth place with 189 points – their ninth straight top-10 finish at nationals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
