Four Individuals, Two Relay Teams Selected for NCAA Division II Championships

INDIANAPOLIS - On Wednesday, the NCAA Division II Men's and Women's Swimming and Diving Committee announced qualifiers for the 2025 NCAA Division II Swimming and Diving Championships. From Cal State East Bay, four individual qualifiers and two relay teams were selected. 

INDIVIDUAL SELECTIONS FROM CAL STATE EAST BAY

Kylie Beaudet

Beaudet will be competing in the 200 and 400 yard individual medley. Beaudet qualified for the 200 and 400 yard IM in the 2023 NCAA Division II Championships, so the upcoming postseason meet is familiar territory. 

Brooklyn Dressel

Dressel was selected to compete in the 100 yard freestyle. At the PCSC Championships, she won the 100 yard freestyle in 49.82 seconds. 

Alexia Fajardo

It only took one season for Fajardo to qualify for an NCAA Championship meet. She will be entered in the 100 and 200 yard butterfly. She won the 100-yard butterfly at the PCSC Championships in 55.32 seconds. 

Tehani Kong

Kong has qualified for the 100 and 200 yard butterfly as well. In 2024, she placed eighth in the nation for the 100 yard butterfly in 54.33 seconds.
