Williams College wrestling makes history by qualifying a program-record six athletes for the NCAA Division III National Championships, following a strong performance at the Regional Championships held at the Coast Guard Academy. The Ephs finished second in the team standings, with Caleb Seyfried (149 lbs), Peter Kane (157 lbs), Henry Forte (165 lbs), Gage Wiggins (174 lbs), Jamie Evarts (184 lbs), and Zach Borzio (197 lbs) all securing their spots for the national competition in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on March 13-14. Kane and Evarts both claimed regional titles, repeating their successes from the previous year, marking a significant achievement for the program.

In women's squash, the Ephs concluded their season at the Kurtz Cup, finishing ranked #14 nationally after a 9-0 loss to Columbia University in the championship match. The team had previously defeated #13 Middlebury College 6-3 in the semifinals, with junior Melanie Wang clinching the decisive victory after an intense five-game match. Despite the loss to Columbia, the Ephs demonstrated resilience, with several matches remaining competitive, including close contests from Rhea Pandit and Frances Brooks.

The men's hockey team advanced to the NESCAC semifinals following a 3-1 victory over Tufts University. After falling behind 1-0, Williams rallied with three unanswered goals, led by junior goaltender Harrison Fogel, who made 31 saves. The Ephs will face top-seeded Hamilton College in the semifinals on March 7.

In swimming and diving, both the men's and women's teams had standout performances at the NCAA Diving Regionals. Haochen Liu and Calder Biondi qualified for the NCAA Championships after finishing third and fourth, respectively, on the 1-meter board. Liu's consistent high scores throughout the competition showcased his dominance, while Biondi's strong performance solidified his place at the national level. The Ephs will now prepare for the upcoming NCAA Championships, where they aim to continue their successful season.
