Pleasant Prairie, Wis. -- After six total days of competition stretching back to last Friday, the 2026 CCIW Swimming & Diving Championships finally concluded in Wisconsin on Saturday evening. This year's conference meet went down in the record books, as the title race on the women's side was decided by an historically narrow margin. Wire-to-wire leaders Wheaton did just enough to maintain its lead atop the seven-team standings and clinched the program's 27th CCIW title, the most in conference history. The Thunder's success came at the expense of the two-time defending champions Augustana Vikings, who missed out on a three-peat by a single point in the closest-ever conference title race. Following its dramatic team win, the Thunder coaching staff and three student-athletes earned special award recognition from the conference for helping return the trophy to Wheaton after last winning it in 2023.]]>Conference champions banner pictureSat, 21 Feb 2026 22:31:00 CST2315247https://athletics.wheaton.edu/news/2026/2/20/womens-swimming-diving-womens-swimming-keeps-its-lead-atop-the-standings-after-five-title-wins-and-another-boyer-record.aspxhttps://athletics.wheaton.edu/news/2026/2/20/womens-swimming-diving-womens-swimming-keeps-its-lead-atop-the-standings-after-five-title-wins-and-another-boyer-record.aspxWomen's Swimming & Diving
