INDIANAPOLIS— Colorado Mesa University junior Agata Naskret went back-to-back in more ways than one on a record-setting Friday night at the NCAA Division II Swimming & Diving Championships here in the IU Natatorium.
 
The junior out of Poland made more NCAA Division II backstroke history as she broke the Division's all-time and championship meet history for the second straight night while successfully defending her national title in the 100-yard event.
 
Swimming to a time of 51.52 seconds, Naskret  won her third individual and seventh overall national title over the last two years, a new all-sport CMU record for the most NCAA Division II crowns, surpassing the former mark of six than men's swimmer Ben Sampson and diver Ammar Hassan had co-held.

Naskret won Friday's final by a wide margin of 0.85 seconds and bested the one-day old national record of 51.53 seconds that she used to lead-off the Mavs' title winning 400 medley relay on Thursday night.  In 2024, Naskret won the 100 and 200 backstroke titles and helped the Mavs win their first three relay national titles in program history.
 
She will look to defend the 200 yard title on Saturday and will also likely be on the Mavs' 400 free relay team after she also set a new CMU record for the 50 free as the lead-off leg on the Mavs' fourth place and school-record setting 200 free relay team on Friday.
 
Naskret teamed with Elli Williams, Reagan Horn and Ada Qunell for a time of 1:30.93, a third of second quicker than the Mavs' 2024 NCAA Division II title-winning title of 1:31.26.
 
The night was very strong for the Maverick women, who remain in third place in the overall team standings heading into the final night.  The Mavs now have 284 points, trailing Drury (358) and 2024 champion Nova Southeastern (353), who are just five points apart heading into the final day.
 
CMU, which finished second in 2024, is now 12 points ahead of fourth place Indianapolis and 110 up on fifth place Lynn.
 
The Maverick women scored in all six of Friday's events.
 
In the 500 free, the Mavs picked up 21 points as Olivia Hansson placed seventh with a time of 4:51.67 to earn her fourth CSCAA First Team All-America honor of the week and her ninth overall all-America certificate.
 
Meanwhile, Katerina Matoskova placed 11^th, posting a consolation final time of 4:53.82 to earn the first of her two Second Team CSCAA All-America honors of the day.  The fifth-year senior out of the Czech Republic now has 18 career all-America honors.
 
Fellow senior Sophia Bains also swam in the consolation final and posted a season-best time of 4:55.58 to place 14^th.  Bains now has six career all-America honors, half of which have come in the last three nights.
 
Meanwhile, freshman Taylar Hooton grabbed her first career honor, taking sixth in the 100 Back just three lanes over from Naskret.  Hooton touched in a career-best 54.17 seconds and continues to rank third in program history behind Naskret and fellow program legend Lauren White, a 30-time all-American between 2020-24.
 
Matoskova swam in the consolation final, claiming 15^th place in 55.45 seconds.
 
After helping the Mavs win the medley relay on Thursday, Antonia Leese claimed a second all-America certificate of the week, placing 14^th in the 100 breaststroke.  She posted a personal-best time of 1:02.04 in the consolation final to do so.
 
Fellow sophomore Sydnee O'Neil then snagged her first career all-America honor, taking 12^th in the 200 butterfly with a consolation final time of 2:03.12.  O'Neil had posted a career-best of 2:02.74 in the morning preliminary session to qualify for the evening.
 
Action then moved to the diving well as junior Kenya Meyer took seventh on the 3-meter springboard to claim what had been an elusive First Team All-America honor.  Meyer has won four gold and two silver medals at the RMAC Championships over the last three years but had not been able to get through NCAA Pre-Championship qualification meet in the past two years.

That history changed on Tuesday, before Meyer scored 478.05 points in Friday night's final.
 
Teammate Talia Datillo also garnered her first all-America accolade, claiming second team plaudits with a 13^th place finish.  The sophomore scored 430.60 points in the consolation final, conducted in the afternoon session just after the preliminary round.
 
Following the diving break, the Mavs then set their school-record time in the 200 Free Relay as all four swimmers posted splits below 23 seconds. Naskret won her 12^th all-America honor over the past two seasons as the leadoff before Williams posted a 22.99 split to pick up her sixth career honor.
 
Freshman Reagan Horn then finished her third leg in 22.70 seconds to claim her first career honor before Qunell anchored the Mavs with a 22.67 second split.  The junior out of Whitefish, Montana now has a dozen All-America honors, including four relay national championships.
 
The Maverick men also had a solid night as Andrew Scoggin took fifth in the 100 back with a time of 46.86 seconds before anchoring the Mavs' 200 Free Relay team to a ninth place time of 1:19.07, a new CMU record.  The senior and team captain out of Greeley, Colorado is now a 9-time All-American.
 
Freshman Richard Schmiedefeld, senior Kuba Kiszczak and senior Austin Patterson were also on that relay team as the quartet broke the former Maverick record of 1:19.09, set twice earlier this season.
 
Schmiedefeld, a native of Stuttgart, Germany, now has four all-America efforts this week and posted a career-best 50 Free time of 19.86 seconds to leadoff the relay while moving ahead of Sampson into second place on the Mavs' all-time charts.
 
Kiszczak then turned in a relay split of 19.90 seconds to raise his career all-America certificate total to 14.  Patterson added his second of the week and third of his career with a 19.50 second split before Scoggin finished the relay off in 19.81 seconds as the anchor leg.
 
The Mavs also picked up points in three other individual events earlier in the evening.
 
In the 500 Free, Jacob Troescher finished 16^th, posting a consolation final time of 4:28.08.  He now has two Second Team CSCAA All-America honors this week after tying with teammate Gavyn Tatge for 16^th in the 1000 Free on Wednesday.
 
Meanwhile, Luka Samsonov finished 15^th in the 100 Back to claim his second honors of the week as well.  Samsonov touched in 48.20 seconds in the consolation final, moments before Scoggin swam.
 
Forrest Frazier then won the consolation final of the 100 Breast to take ninth overall.  He smashed his own school-record, posting a time of 52.98 seconds, well under his altitude-adjusted time of 53.31 from November.  The Iowa City, Iowan and Division I transfer from Cal would have finished fourth in the championship final with that time.
 
The Maverick men are now in eighth place in the team standings with 119 points.
