GREENSBORO, N.C. – The Connecticut College men's swimming and diving team competed in three events on Thursday morning at the 2025 NCAA Division III Swimming & Diving Championships at the Greensboro Aquatic Center.

Justin Finkel (Cheshire, Conn.) qualified for his second championship final in as many days. He won his heat in the 100 butterfly and posted the fourth-fastest time of the preliminary (47.03).

The championship final for the 100 fly will begin at approximately 6:35 p.m. The competitive field features Chicago's Cooper Costello (46.44), Calvin's David Bajwa (46.61) and Carnegie Mellon's Brayden Morford (46.76).

Finkel also took part in the 200 freestyle relay with Matthew Morris (Alexandria, Va.), Carrick Shea (Grafton, Mass.) and Nicholas Holovacs (Hingham, Mass.). Conn entered the event with the slowest seed time in the field but clocked in at 1:21.81, finishing ahead of eight squads to place 19th overall. The time was less than half a second off the school record, and the Camels beat out teams from Coast Guard, Amherst and Williams.  

The morning began with Evan Lyons (Longmeadow, Mass.) competing in the 400 IM. He finished 27th overall with a time of 4:02.37.
