Grand Canyon's
Carter Dooling added another NCAA Cut Saturday when the Lopes hosted a Last Chance Meet prior to the CSCAA National Invitational Championships and NCAA Championships.Â
The senior went 52.37 while the NCAA Cut was 52.58 seconds.Â
The Tucson native has been a Lope for all four years of his career.Â
At the Big West Championships on February 14th, Dooling captured the Big West championship in the 200-yard breaststroke in 1 minute, 54.56 seconds. The swim marked a lifetime best for Dooling and earned an NCAA automatic qualifying bid, a new rule to the sport that GCU head coachÂ
Steve Schaffer was instrumental in adding.Â
Dooling, now competing in two different events, sends Grand Canyon to the NCAA Championships for the first time since 2019, when GCU's NCAA team ofÂ
Daniil Antipov,Â
Florent Janin,Â
Asahi Nagahata,Â
Mark Nikolaev andÂ
Bogdan Plavin finished the meet with 16 points in Austin, Texas.Â
The NCAA Championships take place in Atlanta, Georgia from March 26-Mar 29.Â
