Northern Michigan, Nebraska Capture Open Water Titles
With a dominating performance from Ondrej Zach, Northern Michigan University captured the men’s CSCAA Open Water National Championship in Lawrence, Kan., on Friday morning. Purdue’s Kate Beavon captured the women’s individual title, besting Nebraska’s Illaria Muzilli by 58 seconds, but it was the Huskers who left Lone Star Lake with a team championship.
The top five finishers for each gender earn invites to the USA Swimming 5K Open Water Championships.
Zach, the NCAA Division II runner-up in the 1650 Freestyle, finished over four minutes ahead of Emmanuel College’s Enzo Kihara who finished fifth in the same event. With three top-ten finishers NMU topped Emmanuel for the team title. UMBC’s Samuel Jyawook finished third while Carson-Newman finished third in the team race.
The Boilermakers' top distance swimmer, Beavon finished 10th at the 2021 Big Ten Championships in the 1,650-yard freestyle but overed the 5K course in 1:03.09.6. Murzilli, a true freshman from Rome, Italy, made her competitive debut for the Huskers followed less than a minute later. The Husker team title was determined by depth however with Murzilli joined in the top five by fellow Husker Shannon Stott. The senior from St. Albans, Great Britain took fourth (1:04.31.7), making Nebraska the only school among the 15 in the team competition with a pair of top five finishers.
