At the 2026 NCAA Women's Swimming and Diving Championships, Fiora Beratahani secured a national title in the three-meter dive, becoming only the second diver in MIT history to achieve this feat, joining Doria Holbrook's 2007 victory. The women's team finished sixth overall, marking their 13th consecutive top-10 finish. Alongside Beratahani's triumph, several teammates excelled, with Annika Naveen earning the NCAA Elite Scholar-Athlete Award for maintaining a 4.0 GPA while competing at the national level. The Engineers also saw multiple All-America honors, with standout performances from athletes like Smith, who tallied her 17th All-America accolade, and Bernard, who recorded the second-fastest time in program history in the 200 breaststroke. The men's swimming and diving team concluded their championship run with a 14th-place finish, accumulating 91 points, and also secured several All-America honors throughout the meet.
In rowing, the MIT women's openweight crew team commenced their spring season with a commanding performance against the U.S. Coast Guard Academy on March 22. Competing on the Charles River, the Engineers swept all three races, highlighted by a 19-second victory in the varsity eight race. This strong start sets a positive tone for the season ahead as they look to build on their success in upcoming competitions.
