Swimmers make a splash during a collegiate swimming event.
Las Vegas swimmer Kenny Meyer has committed to New York University’s prestigious swimming program set to commence in fall 2025. Known for his remarkable skills in distance freestyle, Meyer has impressed with standout performances at various competitions, including the CA/NV Speedo Winter Sectionals, where he achieved personal bests. With support from his coaches and teammates, he is eager to take on new challenges with the NYU men’s swimming team, which is primed for future competitions in NCAA Division III swimming.
Las Vegas is buzzing with excitement as local swimmer Kenny Meyer has made a splash by committing to the prestigious swimming program at New York University (NYU). This talented distance freestyler from the Sandpipers of Nevada is set to make his collegiate debut in the fall of 2025, and let’s just say, both Meyer and swimming aficionados are thrilled!
Kenny Meyer is beaming with pride over this new chapter in his swimming journey. He has publicly expressed heartfelt gratitude towards his coaches and teammates, acknowledging that their unwavering support has paved the way for this remarkable opportunity. When you hear about athletes expressing such appreciation, it’s a reminder of the importance of teamwork and community in sports.
What sets Kenny apart? He shines in distance freestyle events, an area where the Sandpipers team has a strong reputation. Competing at every opportunity has been key to his training, and Kenny has really taken that to heart. His hard work culminated in a powerful performance at the CA/NV Speedo Winter Sectionals in December 2024, where he recorded personal best times in the 200, 500, 1000, and 1650 freestyles. Talk about making waves!
At the Sectionals, Kenny’s standout moment was finishing 12th in the challenging 1650 freestyle event, clocking in at 15:59.38. This impressive time not only showcased his talent but also earned him a Futures cut. The competitive spirit truly shines through when you see local athletes like Kenny striving to reach new heights. His involvement in additional events, such as the 200 freestyle, further demonstrates his versatility as a swimmer.
Kenny will join a men’s swimming team at NYU that recently showcased its immense talent at the 2025 NCAA Division III Swimming and Diving Championships. The team landed in a commendable fourth place, but it was a tight race! In fact, there was only a narrow margin of 22 points separating NYU from third-place Chicago and fifth-place Kenyon. It was truly a battle for the ages!
But it’s not all about the present; it’s about looking ahead. Although NYU returns only 93.5 individual points, ranking among the lowest of the top five teams at the championships, Kenny Meyer is ready for the challenge. If he can sharpen his times, he could become a valuable scorer for NYU at the DIII NCAA Championships. According to how things shaped up, his lifetime bests would have placed him a respectable 11th in the 1650 freestyle at the UAA Championships, plus he would have earned points in the 500 freestyle ‘C’ final.
As Kenny prepares for this new adventure, the excitement is palpable. Both the local community and the Sandpipers of Nevada are eagerly awaiting his future endeavors at NYU. With his dedication, it seems like only a matter of time before we see him make a splash at the collegiate level. After all, it’s not every day that a local athlete commits to such a prestigious program. So, keep cheering him on as he embarks on this thrilling journey! Go, Kenny!
