Kicking off her junior year, Nwaeze started strong in front of a packed house at the annual Battle of the Burr meet against local rival Georgetown. The Columbia, MD native recorded an impressive league-leading 1:53.91 in the 200 freestyle, a feat that earned her first place by nearly three seconds. Nwaeze, who was the Co-Outstanding Swimmer at the 2024 NEC Swimming & Diving Championships, then finished the day with the leadoff leg on HU's 200 freestyle relay, clocking in at an NEC-best 24.11 to help lead the Bison to a second place finish.
