INDIANAPOLIS – In the final individual races of their careers, seniors Kelsey Gouge and Lauren Reynolds delivered two more All-American performances, and in the final race of the 2016 NCAA Division II Swimming & Diving Championships, Florida Southern's 400-freestyle relay team did the same. Those three results allowed the Moccasins to move up two spots in the team standings and finish in 15th place at the National Finals.

The Moccasins had no swimmers in the 1,650-freestyle, which was the first race held Saturday night, but they would pick up more All-American awards in the next two events from Gouge and Reynolds.

Gouge was already honorable mention in the 50-freestyle when she entered the pool Saturday for the 100. This time she placed even higher, coming in seventh with a time of 50.88 seconds as the top swimmer from the Sunshine State Conference. Gouge has now been either an All-American or honorable mention All-American in both the 50 and 100-freestyle in three of her four collegiate seasons. Prior to her arrival, the Moccasins had only one such swimmer in each of those events, and no one had ever accomplished that feat in both of the sprints.

Reynolds then stepped in for the final race of her career and produced another All-American award for the Moccasins. Qualifying for the consolation finals in the 200-backstroke, Reynolds posted a time of 2:02.84 for career All-American award #21. It makes her and fellow senior Alli Crenshaw the only Florida Southern women's swimmers to earn at least one individual All-American or honorable mention certificate four years in a row.

With no one qualifying for the finals or consolation race in the 200-breaststroke where freshman Haley DeGrace was the Mocs' top swimmer, Florida Southern turned its focus on the 400-freestyle relay. The team of Gouge, freshman Krystal Karas, sophomore Britt Aubley and freshman Rebeka Dics had reached the finals by setting a school record at 3:25.56, which broke a mark established by Mary O'Sullivan, Rae-Lynn Sheffield, Lisa Menne and Carra Potter at the 2011 NCAA Championships. The Mocs weren't able to match their record from the afternoon prelims, but they still gave Florida Southern another relay All-American award in the meet. Two of those teams reached the finals, and two of them were in the consolation finals.

By swimming the leadoff leg, Gouge picked up her 22nd All-American certificate as either an individual or relay swimmer, moving her one ahead of Reynolds for the most in school history. Crenshaw finished her career with 20.

Queens (NC) won the Division II National Championship for the second year in a row by out-scoring Wingate (NC) 567 to 364½. Cal-San Diego was third with 345 points, Drury (MO) was fourth with 295, and Grand Valley State (MI) was fifth with 226.

Nova Southeastern was the top team from the Sunshine State Conference in 11th place with 121 points, and Florida Southern was second among the SSC schools with 94 points, and two spots behind the Moccasins in 17th place was Lynn with 79½. Lynn had the league's best individual outing of the day with senior Rebecca Matthews winning her second straight gold medal in the 200-breaststroke. Tampa and Saint Leo also scored points at the national meet.

All eight Florida Southern women's swimmers (Gouge, Reynolds, Crenshaw, Karas, Dics, DeGrace, Aubley and sophomore Peyton Breault) received at least one All-American or honorable mention All-American award at the Finals. That's the most in team history.
