[Swimming & Diving] Bees at NAIA Swimming and Diving National Championships

NAIA Swimming and Diving National Championships

In just its second year of existence, the St. Ambrose swimming and diving team is sending 19 individuals to the 2019 NAIA National Championships this week in Columbus, Ga.

The Bees are hoping to build on last season's performance when the men finished 13th and the women were 15th.

Leading the way for the St. Ambrose women are Andrea Adam and Taylor Madison. Adam, the reigning NAIA Women's Diver of the Year, is back to defend her national championships in both the 1-meter and 3-meter diving competitions. Madison was runner-up in both events.

On the men's side, Nathan Kuszynski is looking to build on a pair of All-American performances from a year ago. He finished fifth in the 1650-yard freestyle and eighth in the 500-yard freestyle. Kuszynski also scored in the 400-yard individual medley, with a ninth-place performance in 2018.
