FEDERAL WAY, Wash. — The Notre Dame women’s swimming and diving program will close out its 2024-25 campaign this week with the NCAA Championships out West at the Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatics Center outside of Seattle. Freshman Carli Cronk will headline the Irish on the individual side, and four seniors will compete on a pair of relays.
Cronk, who has already rewritten the Notre Dame record books in her first season, qualified for the meet in the 400 IM and earned B cuts in both the 500 free and 200 fly. She holds the Irish record in the 400 IM (4:07.63) and 500 free (4:42.59), and she ranks fourth in school history in the 200 fly (1:55.28).
Senior Maggie Graves rounds out the individual swimming events for Notre Dame and is slated to compete in the 1650 free for the second straight year. She recorded a best time at last year’s meet (16:10.82) and finished 28th overall.
For the relays, Jess Geriane, Imogen Meers, Katie Drumm and Madelyn Christman will swim both the 200 free relay and 200 medley relay. Geriane, Meers and Drumm all rank in the top 10 all-time in the 50 free, and Hollie Widdows, Geriane, Meers and Christman broke the school record in the 200 free relay earlier this season with a time of 1:27.84. Geriane, Gigi Baldacci, Drumm and Christman also broke the school record in the 200 medley relay at ACC Championships in February with a time of 1:36.73.
In the diving well, junior Grace Courtney will compete in the 3-meter springboard after finishing sixth in the event at the Zone C Championships last week. She placed 21st in the 3-meter at last year’s NCAA Championships.
