The 24th-ranked Salisbury University Sea Gulls dominated the New Jersey Athletic Conference Swimming Championships, securing their second consecutive title with a commanding performance. The team finished with 1,635 points, more than 600 points ahead of their closest competitor.
HAMPTON, Va. – The Salisbury University women’s swimming program delivered a dominant performance this weekend, capturing their second straight New Jersey Athletic Conference championship title at the Hampton Aquaplex.
Unlike last season’s nail-biting finish that earned the Sea Gulls their inaugural conference crown, this year’s victory was decisive from start to finish. The nationally-ranked 24th team controlled the four-day competition, accumulating an impressive 1,635 total points.
The Sea Gulls’ commanding lead left little doubt about the outcome, as they finished more than 600 points ahead of runner-up Mary Washington, which earned 987.5 points. Rowan University claimed third place with 971.5 points in the 10-team field at the 2026 NJAC Swimming & Diving Championships that concluded Sunday.
The back-to-back conference titles mark a significant achievement for the Salisbury program, demonstrating the team’s growth from last year’s dramatic championship victory to this season’s wire-to-wire dominance.
