AUBURN, Ala. – Day two of the 2026 Women’s NCAA Championships at historic McAuley Aquatic Center proved fruitful for head coach Ryan Wochomurka and the Auburn Tigers. A strong swim in the 200 free relay earned the Tigers six points to sit in 32nd place with two days of action remaining.
Thursday morning began with Zoey Zeller in the 100 breast. The junior from Gilroy, California managed a 1:00.40 to finish 39th overall.
Relays have always been a focal point under Wochomurka and Auburn’s excellence shone in the 200 free. Elizaveta Klevanovich, Lora Komroczy, Izzy Iwasyk and Bella Ekk combined for a sturdy 1:27.96 for 14th place overall, earning All-American Honorable Mention.
The performance put the first points on the board for the Orange and Blue and the 2026 NCAA Championships with two days left of competition.
Friday brings a busy day for the Tigers. The event slate begins with the 100 back at 10 a.m. CT, and continues with the 200 breast, 500 free, 50 free and 400 medley relay. Juliette Landi will also feature in the 3-meter diving competition.
