Carson-Newman Swimming Earns National Rankings in preseason CSCAA Division II Poll
RICHMOND, Va. – Carson-Newman men's and women's swimming programs have earned national recognition in the preseason College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) Division II Top 25 Dual Meet Poll, released Friday, October 17.
The Eagles men's team checks in at No. 19, while the women's team lands at No. 22, marking an impressive start to the 2025-26 season and underscoring the program's continued rise under head coach Ben Young.
The CSCAA Dual Meet Poll is voted on by a committee of Division II coaches who evaluate teams based on dual meet results, performance trends, roster updates, and data from the SwimCloud simulator. While the poll does not predict NCAA Championship outcomes, it provides a national snapshot of each team's strength in dual meet competition.
On the men's side, Carson-Newman earned 63 points in the poll, joining the top 20 alongside powerhouse programs like Drury, Tampa, and Indianapolis. The Eagles sit just behind Oklahoma Christian and ahead of Findlay and Ouachita Baptist.
For the women, Carson-Newman tallied 38 points, tying for 22nd nationally with UNC-Pembroke. The team joins a competitive field that includes perennial contenders such as Tampa, Colorado Mesa, and Indianapolis in the top three.
