TicketsKNOXVILLE, Tenn.— University of Cincinnati swimming and diving freshman Joleigh Crye concluded her NCAA Women's Swimming and Diving Championships debut inside the Allan Jones Intercollegiate Aquatic Center on Friday.
Crye placed 22nd overall in the 100-yard breaststroke, her lone event of the postseason meet, with a time of 59.49 seconds. She is the first Bearcat women's swimmer to advance to the NCAA Championships since Lina Kutsko in 2020.
The Avon, N.Y. native was prolific throughout her first collegiate season, setting the 100-yard breaststroke program record on three separate occasions. Crye secured the 100-yard breaststroke title after reestablishing the program record and American Athletic Conference Championship record with a time of 59.07 seconds.
Her personal-best time makes her the program's first woman to break the one-minute mark in the event. She also led the women's team with 10 event wins this season.
