INDIANAPOLIS – Another record-breaking, all-America swim from Vladislav Kazakin on Friday was the highlight for the nationally-ranked Colorado School of Mines Swimming teams at the 2025 NCAA Division II Swimming & Diving Championships.
 
Kazakin broke the program's unadjusted record in prelims by swimming 4:22.34. He entered the evening session seeded seventh and eventually finished #7 in the nation with another record-breaking time of 4:22.27. Both races featured a fast start from the true freshman who almost broke the program record in the 200-free as well. The performance makes Kazakin the first Oredigger man to climb two national podiums in the same meet since 2005. He also finished #7 in the nation in the 1000-free on Wednesday. The last man from Mines to appear on two NCAA podiums was Travis Kummer who was sixth in the 100-breast, seventh in the 200-IM, and seventh in the 200-breast. Kazakin's performances also gave the Orediggers 12 more points in the team standings. Mines' men now sit 23rd in the team standings.
 
Additional Oredigger performances on Friday came from Isabella Bono, Ronan Lauinger, and Jordan Tierney. Bono raced the women's 500-free and posted a 5:05.00. That was good enough for #44 in the country and the second-fastest 500-free of her career. Lauinger joined Kazakin in the men's 500-free and touched the wall at 4:35.26 to finish #39 in the nation. Tierny's 1:03.17 in the 100-breast placed her #28 in the country.
 
Mines closes out its trip to the national meet on Saturday with swimmers in the 100-free, 200-breast, and 1650-free. Live results and video will be available free of charge with links at www.minesathletics.com.
