AZUSA, Calif. – Coming off of a program-best conference finish of second place at the 2023 PCSC Championships a few weeks ago, Azusa Pacific will be sending five athletes to the NCAA Division II Swimming & Diving Championships in Indianapolis, on March 7-11.

Montana White and Madeline Schultz will compete in multiple individual events, Olivia Liddle will dive in the Qualification Meet, and Riley Smith and Aleena Herrera join White and Schultz in the 800 Free Relay. White will race the 100 Free, 200 Free and 500 Free, while Schultz will compete in the 100 Free and 50 Free. 

Herrera is also the second alternate for the meet in the 400 IM, meaning if two athletes scratch, she will be selected to compete.

"This group moving on to the National meet is a great representation of what our team has accomplished together this season," said Azusa Pacific head coach Tim Kyle, "I am excited for these five athletes to have the opportunity to compete at the highest level in Division II and represent Azusa Pacific on a national platform. Let's go!"

Liddle will start things off on Tuesday, March 7 in the Pre-Championship Diving Qualification Meet, where she will compete for the chance to advance into the Championships for the one-meter and three-meter dive. The swimming events will start on Wednesday, March 8. Stay tuned to NCAA.com, as well as APUCougars.com, for the official meet schedule.
