West Florida went on to set a new D2 record in winning the relay title.
Naskret is also the defending champion in the 100 back, having won the 2025 title in a time of 51.52—an NCAA record at the time—while she was at Colorado Mesa.
The other events on Friday’s slate featuring the defending champion will be the men’s 500 free, where Tampa’s Jacob Hamlin will be looking to follow up on his record-breaking performance last year, and the men’s 100 back, where Drury junior Ivan Adamchuk comes in as the reigning champion.
The women’s 500 free will feature last year’s runner-up, Grand Valley State’s Lucy Hedley, along with Nova Southeastern’s Emilia Ronningdal, who placed 2nd in last night’s 200 free final (where Hedley was 3rd).
The women’s 100 breast will be headlined by Indy’s Celina Schmidt, the top seed who had the fastest breast split (1:00.00) on last night’s 400 medley relay, while the top returner from last year in the 200 fly will be Tampa sophomore Burlingtyn Bokos, who is coming off a big win in the 400 IM on Thursday.
In the men’s 100 breast, Indy sophomore Jeremias Pock is coming in with a ton of momentum after winning the 400 IM and then throwing down a blistering 50.35 breast leg on the 400 medley relay last night. He was 3rd in the 100 breast last year and is the top returner in the field.
In the 200 fly, the favorite has to be McKendree sophomore Vova Gavrysh, who was 3rd last year and picked up a win last night in the 200 free.
