qualified for the NCAA Division III Championship Meets scheduled

Rader is making his third consecutive appearance in the national
meet. Already an All-America honoree several times over, Rader
posted an NCAA B cut time in the 200-yard Individual Medley after
finishing second in the event at the NCAC meet. Searcy posted three
NCAA B cuts after improving her times in the 500 free, 1650 free
and 400 IM at the NCAC meet. She finished fifth in the 500 free
with a time of 5:07.37, fourth in the 1650 free in 17:39.54 and
third in the 400 IM in 4:36.63. The latter time was a school record
and earned Searcy her first All-NCAC honor.
