GREENSBORO, N.C. – The 20th-ranked Tiger men's swimming & diving team added one final All-American performance on the final day of the 2023 NCAA III Championships.

The 400 freestyle relay team of senior Matteo Lanzara (Moraga, Calif. / Campolindo), sophomore Caleb Manifold (Helotes, Texas / Homeschool), and juniors Nathaniel Early (Austin, Texas / Westwood) and Michael Kohl (Missouri City, Texas / Ridge Point) opened the day with a 12th-place finish in the prelims with a time of 3:01.45. The Tiger quartet came back this evening and finished 13th in the consolation finals with a time of 3:00.60 that is just 0.04 seconds from the school record. The four Tigers earned Second Team All-America status with the result.

Earlier in the day, three of the Trinity swimmers also competed individually in the prelims session. Manifold and Kohl both competed in the 100 freestyle, while junior Kendal Southwell (Rio Rancho, N.M. / Calvert Online Academy) raced in the 200 breaststroke. Manifold and Kohl were 31st and 32nd with times of 46.05 and 46.13 seconds, respectively. Southwell's time of 2:04.49 in the 200 breast was 28th in the national meet.

"The men swam a full team effort on this morning's relay and stepped it up another level tonight," said Head Coach Cathleen Pruden. "You could not ask for a better final swim from Matt. We will miss him, but are excited for the future of these Tigers!"
