Mustangs Have Top Finishes On Final Day Of NAIA Championships

Ben Kurz, a freshman from Council Bluffs, Iowa, had the Mustangs’ top individual finish at the 2013 NAIA Swimming & Diving National Championships in Oklahoma City, Okla., when he placed seventh in the men’s 1650-yard freestyle on March 2.


Kurz swam a school-record time of 16:31.19 to shatter the former Morningside record of 16:34.35 set by Scott Anderson in 2008.

Krystal Carlson, a senior from Richfield, Minn., had the top finish for the Morningside women when she placed eighth in the women’s 1650-yard freestyle with a time of 18:07.20.
