Junior Rafae Shafi led the Jumbos with a 19th-place finish in the 1650 freestyle, while senior Armaan Sikka closed his collegiate career with a 21st-place finish in the 100 freestyle. Junior diver Jay Wilkinson earned two honorable mention All-American awards, finishing 13th in three-meter diving and 12th in one-meter diving, marking the best NCAA finishes for Tufts in those events since 2017. The men's 200 freestyle relay team also made waves, breaking the school record and finishing seventh nationally, a testament to their collective effort throughout the season.
In basketball, the Tufts University men's team saw their season come to a close in the Elite Eight of the NCAA Division III tournament, falling 69-66 to top-ranked Trinity College.
