SAN ANTONIO – Five members of the 20th-ranked Trinity men's swimming & diving team are set to compete at the NCAA III Championships this week, which will run from Wednesday through Saturday at the Greensboro Aquatic Center in Greensboro, N.C.

Trinity will have individuals competing all four days of the meet, with prelims beginning at 10:00 a.m. (ET) each morning. Each day's finals session is scheduled to start at 6:00 p.m. The Tigers are competing in four of the five relays and six individual events. Last season, Trinity finished 26th overall at the NCAA III Championships.

NCAA Championships, Day One:
Trinity begins its part in the national meet with a pair of individuals competing in the 50 freestyle. Junior Michael Kohl (Missouri City, Mo. / Ridge Point) posted a time of 20.25 for a top-20 ranking this season, while sophomore Caleb Manifold (Helotes, Texas / Homeschool) will also compete for the Tigers. The 200 medley relay team of Kohl, Manifold, and juniors Nathaniel Early (Austin, Texas / Westwood) and Kendal Southwell (Rio Rancho, N.M. / Calvert Online Academy) qualified for the NCAA III Championships with a time of 1:28.61 that ranks 10th in the country.

NCAA Championships, Day Two:
Thursday's action picks up where Wednesday's left off as the 200 free relay will open up the second day of action at nationals. Trinity qualified with a time of 1:20.77 that ranks ninth in NCAA III, with senior Matteo Lanzara (Moraga, Calif. / Campolindo) leading off ahead of Manifold, Early, and Kohl. Manifold and Kohl both qualified in the 100 butterfly individually and will compete on Trinity's busiest day of the week. Kohl qualified with a time of 47.56 seconds that ranks sixth in the country, while Manifold posted a time of 48.18 seconds. Early will also compete individually in the 200 free after posting a season-best time of 1:39.16 that puts him in the top 20. The final event of the day will be the 400 medley relay, for which the Tigers posted a time of 3:17.99 this season. Four of Trinity's five swimmers (Lanzara, Southwell, Manifold, Kohl, and Early) will compete to close out the Thursday session.
