The Tigers finished with 1,085 points to defeat second-place Colorado College, who ended with 932 points. Southwestern University was third with 639 points, followed by McMurry University with 272 points, Austin College with 213 points, University of the Ozarks with 191 points, Centenary College scored 161 points, and University of St. Thomas was eighth with 32 points.
Swimmer-of-the-Meet honors went to Trinity's Michael Kohl who won individual titles in the 50 free, 100 free and 100 fly and was a part of all five of the Tigers' winning relay teams. The Swimmer-of-the-Meet honor was the fourth straight for Kohl, making him the first athlete in SCAC swimming and diving history to win the award four times. Kohl ended his SCAC career with a remarkable 32-0 record, having never been defeated in any conference swim final - be it an individual event or as part of a relay.
For the third consecutive year, Diver-of-the-Meet honors went to Konstantine Partalas who won the SCAC title in the 3-meter boards while finishing second in the 1-meter board.
The Colorado College staff - led by head coach Anne Goodman-James, along with assistant coaches Ellen Walker, Jen Buffin, Adric Arndt, and Misty Banta - earned SCAC Women's Coaching Staff-of-the-Year honors. It is the fourth time Goodman-James has received COTY recognition on the men's side.
Trinity's Konstantine Partalas won the 3-meter board earlier this afternoon when he recorded a winning total of 505.30. It marked his third-straight win on the 3-meter board and the senior became just the second diver in league history to win this event three times. Aidan Richter of Colorado College was second with a score of 474.35. Teammate Wyatt Wellehan was third with a mark of 430.15. Men's 3-Meter Interview

The 200-yard fly saw Tomas Gonzalez of Colorado College take top billing after recording a winning time of 1:51.54.

Will Walker of Trinity was second, recording a time of 1:52.14 and Zach Kangieser of Southwestern placed third with a time of 1:52.53. 200-Yard Butterfly Interview
Trinity closed out the championship by doing something that had only been done one time previously, earning its fourth straight victory in the 400-yard freestyle relay. The Tiger quartet of Kohl, Nate Perez, Trace Briones, and Nathan Early earned gold and clocked a 'B' cut time of 3:01.77 to take top of the podium honors. Only DePauw, who won seven straight 400 free relays from 2005-2011, has won more consecutive titles in the meet-ending event than Trinity's four. Colorado College was second on Saturday evening, tallying a mark of 3:04.14, while Southwestern finished third with a time of 3:09.31. 400-Freestyle Relay Interview
