I can&#8217;t wait to represent Stevens at the NCAA level and I hope to be selected next year along with some more of my teammates,&#8221; Klaus stated.<\/p>\n<p>Klaus owns the 20th-fastest time in the country in the 100-yard backstroke and will make her NCAA appearance on Friday, March 20, in Indianapolis. The four-day NCAA Championship will be held at the Indiana University Natatorium.<\/p>\n<p>The sophomore becomes the first Stevens female swimmer to qualify for the NCAA Championship since Kaitlynn Prescott in 2017\u201318. Klaus originally earned the &#8220;B&#8221; cut during the 400-medley relay, as the Ducks set a MAC Championship meet record during the event. She officially punched her ticket in the 100-yard backstroke on the final day of competition, winning the event in 55.85, nearly two seconds faster than second place.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re super excited about Delaney&#8217;s selection,&#8221; expressed head coach Adam Schneider. &#8220;She is relatively new to racing her 100 back, so we&#8217;re confident she can go even faster at NCAAs. She&#8217;s had a great season so far and this will be a great conclusion for her.&#8221;<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stevensducks.com\/news\/2026\/2\/27\/womens-swimming-klaus-qualifies-for-ncaa-swimming-championships.aspx\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Klaus Qualifies For NCAA Swimming Championships https:\/\/stevensducks.com\/news\/2026\/2\/27\/womens-swimming-klaus-qualifies-for-ncaa-swimming-championships.aspx Publish Date: 2026-02-27 12:09:00 Source Domain: stevensducks.com Story&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":218130,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/images.sidearmdev.com\/fit?url=https%3a%2f%2fdxbhsrqyrr690.cloudfront.net%2fsidearm.nextgen.sites%2fstevens.sidearmsports.com%2fimages%2f2025%2f12%2f8%2f2025-12-06-DJ_Stevens_Swimming_vs_USMMA_676893.jpg&height=450&width=800&type=jpeg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-218129","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218129"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=218129"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218129\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":218131,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218129\/revisions\/218131"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/218130"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=218129"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=218129"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=218129"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
