ROCK HILL, S.C. (TheSAC.com) – Three South Atlantic Conference programs earned spots in the first College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) Division II Top 25 Dual Meet Poll of the 2025–26 season, announced Friday.

On the men's side, Wingate checks in at No. 7 following a strong start to the season, while Catawba comes in at No. 9 and Carson-Newman rounds out the SAC representation at No. 19.

For the women, Catawba leads the way at No. 8, with Wingate close behind at No. 9. Carson-Newman also appears in the rankings, tied for No. 22.
