RICHMOND, VA. -- Rowan men's and women's swimming & diving teams are ranked in the College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) Preseason Division III Poll announced today.

The women are slotted in 15th place with the men in 19th. Both squads, who were ranked at the end of the 2019-20 season, return to the water for the first time in over a year and a half.

Regionally, the women are second and the men third respectively in the Northeast-South region.

The committee, comprised of Division III coaches and select media outlets, ranks the top 25 teams in the nation based on dual meet strength. The polls were not conducted during the 2020-21 season due to COVID.
