Navy (9-0 men; 6-2 women)
The Navy men's team improved its record in dual meets this season to 9-0 with a 175.5-119.5 victory over Towson Saturday. The Mids put together a run of 11-straight event wins to take control of the meet.
The women's team is competing in a meet for the first time since it rallied for a 152-148 victory over Army on Dec. 6. The Mids never led until the end of the final race when they placed first and third in the 400 free relay to beat the Black Knights for the 36th time in the last 37 seasons.
Delaware (1-1 men; 3-1 women)
Delaware's men's team has split its two dual meets this season, defeating Old Dominion, 201-83, on Oct. 4 and losing to West Virginia, 162.5-137.5, on Oct. 18. The Blue Hens also placed second in a field of seven teams at the Bucknell Invitational in late November. That was the most recent competition for the team.
Delaware ended last season with a second-place finish at the Coastal Athletic Association Championship.
The women's team opened the year with wins over Old Dominion, 240-54, and West Virginia, 209-91, then dropped a 175-118 decision at Penn. Delaware also registered a 135-127 win over Florida Gulf Coast on Dec. 31.
The Blue Hens finished in third place at the 2025 CAA Championship.
This weekend marks the first time the Navy and Delaware men's teams will compete against one another, while the women's teams are meeting for the first time since the 1988-89 season when the Mids won a 181.5-116.5 decision to take a 5-3 lead in the series.
Kenyon (3-4 men [No. 6 DIII]); 5-2 women [No. 3 DIII])
The Kenyon swimming and diving teams are the most accomplished programs of any sport on any NCAA level. The men's team won a record 31-straight NCAA Division III titles from 1980-2010 and the women's team has won a record 25 national titles since the 1983-84 season. The Kenyon men have placed first, second or third at seven of the last nine NCAA Championships and the women's team has won the NCAA title in two of the last four years and placed no lower than third at the last eight NCAA meets.
The school's men's team has posted a 3-4 record this season and is ranked sixth in the December NCAA Division III National Poll. Kenyon's women's team has compiled a 5-2 record this season and is ranked third in the country. The teams last competed on Dec. 6 when each defeated Ohio Northern.
Navy defeated Kenyon last season, 178-175 in the women's meet and 285-66 in the men's meet, in what was the first dual between the teams.
Princeton (5-0 men [No. 22]; 6-0 women)
The Tigers swept the team titles at the 2025 Ivy League Championship and each ended last season ranked 25th in the final national polls. This year, Princeton's men's team is ranked 22nd nationally and the women's team received votes for the December top-25 poll.
The men's team has only faced Ivy League programs this season in Dartmouth, Brown, Columbia, Cornell and Penn. Princeton's women's team has defeated those same five Ivy League teams and also has recorded an additional victory over Rutgers.
Princeton holds a 73-25 advantage in the all-time series with the Navy men's team. This includes a 246-107 victory last season. The teams have faced each other in all but six seasons since the 1935-36 campaign, one of which was the 2020-21 season in which no Ivy League sports were contested due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Tigers have won all five previous meets between the women's teams. Princeton defeated Navy last season by the score of 249-104.
