PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Brown women's swimming and diving had two swimmers selected to participate in the 2026 NCAA Women's Swimming and Diving Championship, the NCAA announced on Wednesday, March 4. Morgan Lukinac earned the automatic qualifier in both the 100 and 200 free after winning the 2026 Ivy League Championship in both events. Natalie Garre's time in the 500 and 1650 free earned the sophomore a selection as well.
Lukinac's 48.29 in the 100 free and 1.44.20 in the 200 free earned the senior her first NCAA berth. Garre's 16:11.29 in the 1650 free was a qualifying standard, and her 4:43.25 in the 500 free earned an invitation.
This season, Lukinac has won 10 individual events and set a program record in the 100 and 200 free, as well as on the Ivy League Championship-winning 400 and 800 free relay teams. Garre has seven individual victories and set a program standard in the 1000 and 1650, along with holding the 500 free record for the majority of the season.
The 2026 NCAA Women's Swimming and Diving Championship will be hosted at the Georgia Tech Aquatic Center on March 18-21.
