SCAD freshman Levente Mozsarik broke the NAIA National Record in the 50-yard freestyle on Thursday evening in Ocala, Florida, marking the beginning of the Sun Conference Championships. He claimed the title in 19.42, surpassing the previous record of 19.47 set by Keiser's Noel De Geus at last year's national championship meet, where De Geus secured the NAIA national title. De Geus finished second in the same race on Thursday, clocking in at 20.13.
Mozsarik, a native of Hungary, is a 19-year-old newcomer to American collegiate swimming. The NAIA swimming scene is increasingly dominated by international swimmers. Only one A-finalist in the men's 50-free on Thursday was an American (5th place Caedmon Peterson from SCAD in 20.91), and there were only two B-finalists (Jake Litchfield and Jackson Voelkel, both from SCAD).
Mozsarik's prowess is already well-established at the national level in Hungary. He represented Hungary at the 2024 European Junior Championships, finishing 27th in the 50-free and 33rd in the 100-free. His long-course bests in the 50 and 100-free stand at 23.02 and 50.88, respectively. In 2025, his 50-free time ranked him 10th among all Hungarians and 2nd among those born in 2006 or later, while his 100-free time ranked him 18th among all Hungarians.
The St. Thomas men took the lead after the first day of the meet, followed by the defending NAIA Champions, Keiser University. SCAD currently sits in 3rd place.
On the women's side, SCAD freshmen made their mark with a 4:57.29 in the 500-free, shaving off two and a half seconds from the old Meet Record set last year. Jette Haedicke set a new Meet Record in the 200 IM with a time of 2:04.24. Gerl, Haedicke, and Mozsarik are all freshmen for SCAD. The SCAD women also broke a Meet Record in the 200 medley relay (1:41.79), while Keiser's women claimed one in the 800-free relay (7:27.15), knocking off more than seven seconds from the old Meet Record set by a different Keiser relay in 2023. Senior Rachel Bradley was the sole holdover between the two.
On the men's side, Keiser's Isaiah Aleksenko won the 200 IM in 1:47.62, slicing off more than a second from the old Meet Record set by SCAD's Kevin Kell last year (1:47.51). The SCAD men secured the 800-free relay record in 6:36.28. Keiser's relay was initially under the old record but was disqualified due to an early exchange involving Isaiah Aleksenko (1:36.08).
Keiser won the 200 medley relay in 1:26.47, shaving off 1.4 seconds from the team's own Meet Record from last year.
