INDIANAPOLIS — Senior Dalton Jobe earned his second individual All-America Honorable Mention honor of the week on Thursday, placing 13th overall in the 200-yard freestyle at the 2026 NCAA Division III Swimming and Diving Championships at the IU Natatorium.
Jobe posted a 1:38.45 in the finals after qualifying with a 1:38.05 in the morning prelims. Both swims rank among the fastest in program history and come just off his own school-record mark of 1:37.27, set earlier this season at the ODAC Championships. The finish marks his second All-America performance of the meet after earning honors in the 200 individual medley on Wednesday.
