SIOUX FALLS - The NCAA Division II Men's & Women's Swimming & Diving Committee announced today the qualifiers for the 2023 NCAA DII Men's and Women's Swimming & Diving Championships. One Cougar made the cut with another waiting in the wings as an alternate.

 

USF sophomore, Inte Pas, qualified for the championships in the 200 Breast with her time of 2:16.08 during the Augustana Invitational back in mid-November. The Netherlands native scored 41 points for the Cougars during the NSIC Championships while claiming a title in the 200 Breast and finishing runner up in the 100 Breast. This will be Pas' second trip to the NCAA Championships.

 

5th year swimmer and reigning NSIC Outstanding Senior of the Year, Elizabeth Spaans will await her invite to the NCAA Championships after being placed on the alternate list. Lizzy has qualified for the event four times during her career. Her time of 56.03 in the 100 Back during the NSIC Championships landed her on the cusp of her 5th trip to the biggest meet of the year. During the NSIC Championships she placed 3rd in the 100 Back, 2nd in the 100 IM, and 3rd in the 200 IM.
