De Geus is the defending NAIA Champion in the 100 breast, swimming 52.62 at last year’s championship meet, which is also the NAIA Record. Marina was 2nd-best last year in 52.71 swimming for St. Thomas University in Florida before transferring to Nova Southeastern.
De Geus, a German native, also swam 2:04.68 in the 200 breast.
