Wolverines finish 18th at NCAA Championships

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Grove City College men's swimming and diving team's quartet of national qualifiers concluded the team's participation in the 2026 NCAA Division III Championships by competing in the 400 free relay Saturday at the Indiana University Natatorium. 

Senior Caleb Einolf (Quakertown, Pa./Quakertown), junior Owen Hancock (Brunswick, Ohio/Westside Christian), freshman George Witte (Columbia, S.C./Covenant Classical Christian) and junior Bryce Pope (Wilmington, Del./Delaware Valley Classical) earned 20th in the preliminaries of the 400 free relay Saturday morning by combining for a time of 3 minutes, 1.47 seconds. 

All four men earned multiple All-America honors during the four-day meet, which started Wednesday. The quartet earned All-America in the 400 medley relay by taking 15th place Wednesday night with a time of 3:17.15, then finished 11th in the 200 medley relay Friday with a time of 1:28.24.

Hancock earned his first individual All-America citation by placing sixth in the 100 butterfly with a time of 47.79 seconds Thursday. Einolf also achieved All-America in the 100 fly by winning the consolation final in 47.63 seconds, good for ninth place. Einolf captured All-America in the 100 breaststroke Friday night with an eighth-place individual finish (53.88). 

Einolf concluded his career as a six-time NCAA Division III All-American. He earned All-America in the 100 fly and 100 breaststroke as a junior.

Grove City finished 18th in the team standings with 53 points. That is the highest finish for the Wolverines at the national championships since 2009, when Grove City finished sixth. This year's finish marked the 13th time in program history that Grove City has finished in the top 20 at the NCAA Division III or College Division Championships.
