INDIANAPOLIS – Seven members of the Truman swimming teams were selected to the NCAA Division II Swimming & Diving Championships to be contested March 9-12 at the Palo Alto Natatorium in San Antonio, Texas.

Six women and one man will be making the trip to Texas for nationals as the new cap system in place for this year's event has limited entries into the field. Divisions II put a cap on the national field at 160 men and 205 women and established aggressive automatic or “A-cut” qualifying times this season.

On the women's side, seniors Anna Grinter, Claire Myers, Stephanie Myers and Tanya Sylvester, along with freshmen Beth Eyanson and Casey Jepsen, will swim for the Bulldogs while sophomore Jerod Simek will swim four events in the men's championship.
