TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – The NCAA released the list of qualifiers for the upcoming women's national swimming and diving championships on Wednesday and the Alabama Crimson Tide had four individuals and three relays earn entry into this year's meet. The championships will be held in Austin, Texas on the University of Texas campus March 20-23.

"We are taking a relatively young group this year," UA head coach Dennis Pursley said. "But several of them were either at this meet last year or have competed at the international level, which should help their confidence coming in."

Senior Justine Macfarlane and sophomore Flora Molnar along with freshmen Kensey McMahon and Rhyan White qualified in individual events. It will be the second NCAA trip for both Macfarlane and Molnar, while McMahon and White will close their rookie seasons at the national championships.

Seniors Caroline Beene and Sarah Helm , junior Allie Surrency and freshman Kalia Antoniou all made the Tide's NCAA roster as part of its relay contingent. It will be the first NCAAs for all four.

"The challenge is to show up with a performance mindset instead of a participation mindset," Pursley said. "Not many swimmers produce their season-best performances at this meet. The door of opportunity is wide open for those who do."

Macfarlane qualified in the 100 breaststroke, while Molnar punched her ticket in the 100 freestyle. McMahon and White earned their spots at the national championships in the 1,650 freestyle and 100 backstroke, respectively. Macfarlane and Molnar both earned All-America honors at last year's championships.

Alabama is also slated to swim the 200 and 400 medley relays as well as the 400 freestyle relay in Austin.

The Tide has the opportunity to add to its NCAA squad early next week when the UA divers will look to qualify at the NCAA Zone B Championships March 11-13 in Auburn, Ala.
