But in Division II swimming circles, one certainty remains: Queens will be a national title favorite in swimming and diving.<\/p>\n<p>Heading into the 2021 championships, the Royals lead the nation in three of the five women\u2019s relays, with Drury leading the other two. Queens has won the last five team titles, dating back to 2015, and had the lead last season when the meet was canceled after just three sessions because of COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>The Queens women are led by senior distance swimmer Francesca Bains, who leads the nation in the 500, 1000 and 1650 yard freestyles this season. The thing about Queens is that even when they seem to graduate a big class, they always bring in swimmers capable of scoring in the national A-final. And this year is no different.<\/p>\n<p>Freshman Sophia Lange ranks right behind Bains in all three distance events, so when Bains graduates, Lange should be ready to take over as the new elite distance swimmer on Queens\u2019 roster. But for now, the Bains-Lange duo provides a strong 1-2 punch for this year\u2019s championships. Lange is also the top-ranked swimmer this season in the 200 butterfly<\/p>\n<p>On the men\u2019s side, Queens\u2019 title run has been identical to the women, although last year, it looked to be in danger of ending when McKendree University jumped out to the lead after three sessions before the meet was halted.<\/p>\n<p>This year, however, Drury, which had won 10 team titles in a row from 2005-14, looks to be the team to beat, with freshman Karol Ostrowski\u2014who set the NCAA record in the 50 and 100 freestyle in December\u2014leading the way. That speed has helped the Panthers lead the nation in all five relays\u2014points that will be hard to overcome for Queens to capture a sixth straight title.<\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s not all Ostrowski for the Panthers. Juniors Nathan Bighetti (200 back) and James Brown (200, 400 IM) lead the nation in their respective events, and their contributions could be what push Drury to the top.<\/p>\n<p>Queens should still have a strong showing at the championships\u2014especially with juniors Alex Kunert (200 fly) and Luke Erwee (500, 1000 free)\u2014but their team winning streak looks to be in jeopardy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">To read more about each of the top prospects of the NCAA Division II Championships,<br \/>\n<a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/issues\/2021\/swimming-world-magazine-march-2021-issue-pdf-only\">Click here to download the complete March 2021 issue, available now!<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/issues\/2021\/swimming-world-magazine-march-2021-issue-pdf-only\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"463378\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/swimming-world-march-2021-shaine-casas-the-texas-am-swimmer-has-people-wondering-who-is-this-guy\/swimming-world-march-2021-shane-casas-cover\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2021-Shane-Casas-COVER.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,1070\" 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;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Swimming World March 2021 &#8211; Shane Casas &#8211; COVER\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Swimming World March 2021 &#8211; Shane Casas &#8211; COVER&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2021-Shane-Casas-COVER-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2021-Shane-Casas-COVER-766x1024.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-463378 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2021-Shane-Casas-COVER.jpg\" alt=\"Swimming World March 2021 - Shane Casas - COVER\" width=\"800\" height=\"1070\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2021-Shane-Casas-COVER.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2021-Shane-Casas-COVER-766x1024.jpg 766w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2021-Shane-Casas-COVER-150x200.jpg 150w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2021-Shane-Casas-COVER-300x401.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2021-Shane-Casas-COVER-450x602.jpg 450w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2021-Shane-Casas-COVER-673x900.jpg 673w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2021-Shane-Casas-COVER-245x327.jpg 245w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2021-Shane-Casas-COVER-533x713.jpg 533w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a>[PHOTO CREDIT: CONNOR TRIMBLE]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Get <em>Swimming World Magazine<\/em> and <em>Swimming World Biweekly<\/em> FREE When You<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/join\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/product-category\/ishof-membership\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1522345712821000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGfwbLD2OaI21g28efcR0DZZlQSOQ\"><em>Become A Member of the International Swimming Hall of Fame<\/em><\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/product\/30-day-digital-membership-to-ishof-with-swimming-world-subscription-download-current-swimming-world-biweekly-and-technique\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New!

Sadly, the COVID-19 pandemic wiped out that showdown, but spirits are running high one year later\u2014not only for that much anticipated Cal-Texas confrontation, but for the simple fact that college swimmers will again be able to come together and compete at a national championship.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>014 YES, VIRGINIA, NOW IS THE TIME TO MAKE YOUR MOVE<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>by Dan D\u2019Addona<\/strong><br \/>\nFor years, Stanford and Cal have been battling each other for national supremacy at women\u2019s NCAAs, with the Cardinal and Golden Bears finishing 1-2 in the last three championships. Before that, Cal had put together four team titles since 2009.

Michael Phelps vs. Ian Crocker. Gary Hall Jr. vs. Alexander Popov. Shirley Babashoff vs. East Germany. These are just a few rivalries that stand out and should long be remembered. But what about the rivalries from the early days of swimming? As our \u201cTakeoff to Tokyo\u201d series continues, Swimming World takes a look at some of these rivalries from yesteryear.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>026 WHO IS THIS GUY?<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>by David Rieder<\/strong><br \/>\nBefore the summer of 2019, Texas A&amp;M\u2019s Shaine Casas had been swimming under the radar. But if his performances since then are any indication, the end results could be spectacular. His coaches see his potential as basically unlimited, and recent history makes it tough to disagree. As for Casas, he has similarly lofty expectations for himself.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>029 ISHOF: THE VALUE OF SWIMMING IN WAR<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>by Bruce Wigo<\/strong><br \/>\nIn the early 1900s, there was scarcely an American alive who was unfamiliar with the name of Frederick Funston. He was the most decorated and celebrated hero of the Philippine-American War (1899-1902)\u2014famous in military and swimming history for his willingness to have his men swim across rivers, under fire, when, according to press reports, \u201cThey couldn\u2019t otherwise get at the enemy quickly enough to suit them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>COACHING<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>041 SPECIAL SETS: BOWE KNOWS SWIMMING<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>by Michael J.
