FINAL RESULTS

GENEVA, Ohio - Last year, head coach Scotty Serio helped deliver the first three-time National Champion at a single National Championship event in program history. This season, the Red Wave saw its first female National Champion in program history.

Coming into the night, Kiara Pozvai had posted two Top-5 finishes on the week, but the Keszthely, Hungary, native stood atop the rest on the final day of the 2024 NCAA Division II National Championships, winning the 100-yard freestyle National Championship with a time of 48.88.

Immediately following her was more dominance as Lamar Taylor earned his second National Title of the week and his first as an individual in 2024, taking the top spot in the men's 100 free at 42.64, followed by teammate Jack Armstrong at 42.68. The 1-2 finish echoed the duo's 1-2 finish in last year's 50 free National Championships.



Mark Eberhard made his own history on the evening, leaving his inaugural NCAA Division II National Championships by setting a new school record in the 200 breaststroke with a time of 1:58.38 for an 11th-place finish.

In the final event of the night, Taylor, Armstrong, Jase Pinckney and Patryk Dabrowski delivered an encore performance from last night's National Championship showing in the 200 free relay with the Red Wave's third National Championship of the day.

Taylor led off with a 43.08 100 free before Armstrong opened the lead with a 42.67 split - the third fastest split of anyone in the 400 free relay field - leaving Pinckney and Dabrowski to hold off the competition.

With HSU holding a four tenths of a second lead after 300 yards, Dabrowski held off the remaining anchors with his final 43.30 split to give Henderson its fourth National Championship of the week.

 

As a team, the HSU women finished in 17th out of 40 teams with 69 points. The Red Wave men finished in seventh place out of 36 teams with a program-record 229 points. Seventh is the highest the Henderson men have placed at the National Championship level.

Overall, the Red Wave finished the historic week with 21 All-America selections, seven new school records and four National Championships.
