2023 NCAA Division II Championships Day 2 records and updates

The 2023 NCAA Division II Championships started on March 7, 2023 in Indianapolis and the meet has continued through Wednesday, March 8, 2023. Day 1 consisted of the men's 800-yard freestyle relay and the women's 800-yard freestyle relay events.

Nova Southeastern finished first in the women's 800-yard freestyle relay with a time of 7:13.65. Team Drury and Wester Chester finished in second and third place with a time of 7:14.86 and 7:17.11, respectively.

As far as the men's 800-yard freestyle relay is concerned, McKendree claimed first place with a time of 6:22.46 followed by Tampa and Grand Valley in second and third place, respectively. With only two events on Day 1, several events were held on Day 2.

​

No individual champions from 2022 defended their title on Day 2 of the NCAA Division II Championships. Queens University of Charlotte have dominated the top for seven consecutive years and are now in the middle of a transition to Division I, hence there will be new champions this year.

In the women's 1000-yard freestyle, Nova Southeastern's Emily Trieschmann finished first with a time of 9:43.25. She was already a national record holder in the 1000-yard freestyle at the NCAA Division II. But Emily broke her own record, which she set last month. The previous record was 9:43.69.

​

Emily Trieschmann was already leading her opponents by almost one second after 50 yards. Jordan Fox finished second, followed by Kate Agger in third place. In the women's 50-yard freestyle finals, Johanna Buys set a new division II national and meet record by clocking a time of 22.10.
