INDIANAPOLIS -- For the fourth-straight year, Augustana women's swimming student-athlete Taylor Beagle has qualified for the NCAA Division II Women's Swimming and Diving Championships. The NCAA Division II Women's Swimming and Diving Committee announced the list of qualifiers on Saturday.

"We are excited to be heading back to the NCAA Championships," said head coach Lindsie Micko. "Taylor has had a great year and I am looking forward to seeing her compete against the best in Division II."

Beagle, the now two-time NSIC Swimmer of the Year, had two times hit the "B" standards in the 1000-free and the 1650-free. This is Beagle's fourth year qualifying in the 1650-free.

Beagle, hailing from Lead, South Dakota, won the 400 IM, 1000-free, and 1650-free at the NSIC meet this year. In addition to her third-place finish in the 500-free, she totaled 76 points to collect the NSIC Swimmer of the Meet award, an award she also got last year. During the conference championships, she broke the NSIC 1000-free record, along with the school record in the 400 IM. 

She has also achieved All-America honors in the last two years. 

The championships are set for March 17-20 being held in Birmingham, Alabama, inside the Birmingham Crossplex.
