Championships notes: Kenyon is trying to rebound from a tragic team van accident that resulted in the death of captain Molly Hatcher. But the Ladies, who have won 16 straight NCAA titles, appear to have renewed their inspiration to win No. 17. Erica Carroll, the 1999 swimmer of the year, won three individual titles and set two meet records at last year's championships. Denison and Williams lead a host of potential challengers to Kenyon's reign.
