Hamilton College's Nathaniel Taft '27 (Fairfield, Conn./Fairfield Warde HS) earned NCAA Division III all-America honors in three men's freestyle events on Monday, March 24 when the College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) announced their award winners and all-Americans for the 2024-25 season.

The all-America team was selected on the basis of performance at the NCAA championships and a team's current membership with the CSCAA. Any individual or relay that competed in the championship final (top eight) in any event made the first team and any individual or relay that competed in the consolation final (ninth through 16th) in any event was on the second team.

Taft made the first team for the 50-, 100- and 200-yard free. He finished fourth in the 200 with a time of 1:36.95 at Greensboro Aquatic Center on March 20, seventh in the 50 (19.99 seconds) on March 19 and eighth in the 100 (44.38 seconds) on March 22. Taft earned 38 team points by himself and put the Continentals in 22nd place in the final team standings. A total of 48 schools registered at least one point.

Taft was a first team all-American in all three events in 2024 as well, which gives him a total of six in two seasons. He holds the team record in those three freestyle events.
