Hampton, Va. - Stony Brook swimming & diving had itself a day for the record books during day three of the 2026 CAA Swimming & Diving Championships, as it shattered three program records across three swimming events.

The day started in a strong fashion, with 10 seawolves punching their tickets to Friday finals after numerous solid swims in the morning prelims.

Shortly after that, Alanna DePinto rebroke her own program record in the 100-yard breaststroke (1:03.64). Her time earned second place in the consolation finals, scoring 17 points.

The third record broken came in the 200-yard freestyle relay after Francesca Baber, Carson Kien, Michelle Vu, and DePinto finished sixth in the finals with a solid time of 1:34.14, scoring 48 team points.

In the consolation finals of the 100-yard butterfly, Vu placed third (54.94) and scored 16 points. Pelagia Chazov participated in the bonus finals of the 100-yard butterfly (57.15), where she finished seventh and scored two team points.
