JCU's trio in the 400 IM buoyed the team's effort on Friday

GRANVILLE, Ohio – A quartet of top-nine finishes, including a trio in the 400 IM, helped John Carroll Women's Swimming & Diving solidify a standing in the top portion of the standings at the 2026 North Coast Athletic Conference Championships.

The Blue Streaks enjoyed some highs and lows, but remain in good shape to finish in the top half of the NCAC race at Denison University. 

Following Day 3, the Blue Streaks stand in fourth place with 633.5 points, behind first-place Kenyon (1,300 points), Denison (1,153) and DePauw (890.5), but squarely ahead of fifth-place Wooster (561). 

Results

The JCU trio of Olivia Goodman, Marina Sneyd, and Lauren Koppelmann repped the Blue & Gold well in the 400 IM. Goodman guided the pack, as the veteran star of the JCU EQ office trimmed time for a sixth-place standing of 4:42.01. Sneyd followed her very closely at 4:42.14. Koppelmann, also a star for WJCU, rounded out the pack in ninth at 4:50.42. 

Audrey Sevald stayed on course as part of a strong sophomore race. The Akron native punched a ticket to the A final of the 100 Backstroke and didn't disappoint, notching eighth with a time of 57.43. Dylan Shipe guided a JCU trio in the B final, finishing 11th with a mark of 1:00.07, followed by Koppelmann in 12th (1:00.58) and Taylor Hudson in 15th (1:01.03). Ella Muzychak won the C final to tab 10 points for JCU. 

Mairin Dalziel won the B final of the 200 Free after just missing out on the A final, winning with a time of 1:56.56 for 10th place and 22 points. Bree Shirkey (13th, 1:57.55) and Jenna Fetsko (16th, 2:00.03) also scored nice points in the event.
