Crye qualified for the NCAA Championships in the 100-yard breaststroke with a program-record and American Athletic Conference-record time of 59.07 seconds. She is the first women's swimmer to advance to the NCAA Championships for the Bearcats since Lina Kutsko did in 2020.
The Avon, N.Y. native has been prolific throughout her first season with the program, breaking the 100-yard breaststroke program record on three separate occasions. Crye secured the 100-yard breaststroke title at the AAC Championships with her record time.
