Frank Applebaum News Today

Two-time NCAA Division III champion Frank Applebaum is transferring from Claremont-Mudd-Scripps to Cal for his fifth year of collegiate eligibility.

All the Division 3 conferences have officially wrapped up as of this weekend, so let’s check in on some storylines ahead of the unofficial NCAA psych sheets.

With midseason invites wrapped up for 2023, we're taking a look at the top times in each NCAA division through the first half of the season.

Applebaum recently lowered his own NCAA DIII record in the men's 200 fly, swimming a 1:43.87 at a dual meet between CMS and Pomona-Pitzer.

This is the third time in two years Applebaum has lowered the record, and the first he has done so outside of an NCAA final.

Johns Hopkins freshman Avery Clapp, one of the best D3 recruits ever, swam a new best time last weekend - in spite of having a torn ACL.

Entering the meet with a personal best of 1:01.25, Novelline put together a great race in finals, swimming 28.38 on the opening 50, then coming home in 31.61

En route to a gold medal by more than 2 seconds, Claremont's Frank Applebaum took down a 5-year old 200 butterfly D3 record.

Williams' Jamie Lovette, who broke the DIII record in the 200 free last month, comes in as the top seed for this morning's prelims.
