Just as the Tigers are fast on land, they also dominate in the pool. After a long and successful season, Trinity University women’s swim team took home on Saturday the title as SCAC Champs for the 16th year in a row, beating long-time rival Colorado College by 102 points in the final meet. 

Trinity men’s team came up short to rival Southwestern University and finished 2nd, losing their 7-year winning streak.

The fourth and final day of the 2019 SCAC Swimming & Diving Championship Meet started off with a bang, as junior Jacob Hurrell-Zitelman captured gold in men's 1650-yard freestyle, being the first SCAC swimmer in history to win the event three times in a row.
