Lavenant Earns All-American Honor On Day 2 of NCAA Championships
FEDERAL WAY, Wash. – LSU diver Montserrat Gutierrez Lavenant anchored the Tigers’ day two performance Thursday at the 2025 Women’s NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships by finishing in the top-eight and earning an All-American honor inside the Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatics Center.
Lavenant, who won an SEC Championship on the platform this season, was looking to match her performance from NCAAs a season ago when she had three All-American finishes. On the one-meter springboard this year, she claimed eighth place with a score of 288.25. With her performance she collected her eighth-career All-American honor.
In another final on day two of the NCAA meet, LSU competed in the 200-yard freestyle relay, finishing 19th with a time of 1:28.24.
In the surrounding events with Tigers participating, LSU swam in the preliminary session earlier in the day. Megan Barnes finished 48th in the 500-yard freestyle with a time of 4:44.44. In the 50-yard freestyle, Michaela de Villiers placed 25th with a time of 22.02.
This season, 10 Tigers are in Seattle with eight individual competitors. In the pool, Barnes, Zoe Carlos-Broc, de Villiers, Reagan Osborne, Sofia Sartori, and Grace Palmer received invitations to swim individually. The Tigers also sent Nicole Santuliana and Sabrina Lyn to compete as relay members only.
