EVANSTON, Ill. – The Northwestern women's swimming and diving team is traveling six Wildcats to Atlanta, Ga., to compete in the NCAA DI Championships this Wednesday through Saturday (March 18-21), at McAuley Aquatic Center. The Championships will be streamed on ESPN+.
Five Wildcat swimmers punched their tickets to the NCAA Championships: Zoe Nordmann (500 Free, 1650 Free), Lindsay Ervin (200 Free Relay), Ekaterina Nikonova (200 Free Relay), Audrey Yu (200 Free Relay) and Amy Pan (200 Free Relay). Their 2025-26 performances earned them spots in the nation's most competitive collegiate swimming event to cap off the season.
In diving, NU will send Isabella Chen (Platform) following her top-10 performance (478.95) at the NCAA Zone C Diving Championships. The platform competition will take place on March 21, 2026.
