INDIANAPOLIS --- Luna Castellanos elevated herself into elite company in the history of Golden Eagles swimming & diving, winning the national championship 3-Meter Dive and leading a quintet of Clarion divers to earn All-America honors in the event at the 2025 NCAA Division II Swimming & Diving Championships.
 
Castellanos broke the 11-year-old school record in the 3-meter (11 dive) event, scoring a 542.55 to pace the field in Indianapolis. The previous record of 539.35 was set by Kristin Day at the 2014 NCAA Championships. Day's mark was at the time the national meet record in the event, though it was broken by Wayne State (Mich.) diver Elizabeth Rawlings in 2015. Rawlings' 555.70 stands as the current record.
 
The win marked Castellanos' second national championship of the season and the fourth of her already storied career, catapulting her into truly elite company with the Golden Eagle women's swimming & diving program and thus nationally as well. She joins Jamie Wolf, Kayla Kelosky and Stephanie Sutton as the only Golden Eagle women divers to sweep both national championships in two separate years, with Wolf doing it three times in 2004, 2006 and 2007. She is now tied with Sutton and Doria Mamalo all-time with four diving national championships, with only Wolf (7) and Kelosky (5) having more.
 
Once again, the Golden Eagles were well-represented on the podium, with three other Clarion divers joining Castellanos in the top-eight and another earning All-American status as well. Alexa Gonczi concluded her impressive Clarion career with a runner-up finish to Castellanos in the 3-meter dive, scoring a 520.95 that put her ahead of Grand Valley State's Madison Kooistra. She nailed her last two collegiate dives, hitting a Back 1 ½ Somersault 2 ½ Twist Free and a Forward 3 ½ Somersault Tuck for scores of 67.20 in each.
 
Colleen Hudson took fourth place in the championship final, scoring a 505.85. Her fourth and fifth dives both netted identical scores of 58.80. Katie Madigan made a trip to the podium for the third time in her career, placing fifth with a score of 491.80. Her best dive was her last, with Madigan scoring a 58.80 with a Back 1 ½ Somersault 2 ½ Twist Free.
 
Rounding out the All-American performances on Friday was Taelyn Thomas, who earned her second All-America honor of the season with a 16^th place finish. She scored a 329.50, giving her two All-America laurels in her first ever appearance at the national championship.

Also competing on Friday, and finishing her first career appearance at the NCAA Championships, was Joslyn Jurski. The junior distance specialist competed in the preliminaries of the 500 Free in the morning, finishing in a time of 5:00.38. Jurski hit four NCAA B cuts over the course of the season and was a two-time conference champion in 2025, becoming the first Golden Eagle woman to win two events at the PSAC Championships since Emilee Gysegem.
