Men’s 500 free

Johns Hopkins’ Andrew Greenhalgh defended his NCAA D3 title with a time of 4:21.83.  That swim was well off his 2015 NCAA D3 record of 4:20.60, but nearly a second enough to pick up the title this time around.

Kenyon’s Arthur Conover took second-place honors in a time of 4:22.69 with Emory’s Christian Baker (4:23.46) and Thomas Gordon (4:26.92) picking up big points for their squad with third and fourth overall.

MIT’s Joshua Graves (4:27.76), NYU’s Austin Palmer (4:27.89), Denison’s Stuart Hohm (4:28.86) and Johns Hopkins’ Griffith Otazu (4:29.68) rounded out the A final.

Women’s 500 free

Kenyon’s Marysol Arce won the women’s 500-yard free tonight in a time of 4:48.52.  That just barely beat Emory’s Rebecca Upton, who took second in 4:48.64.  Both swimmers were well off the NCAA D3 record of 4:43.37 set by Amherst’s Kendra Stern back in 2011.

Denison’s Campbell Costley closed out the top three with a time of 4:51.36, while DePauw’s Angela Newlon wound up fourth in 4:52.30.

Middlebury’s Isabel Wyer (4:53.36), Denison’s Taylor Johns (4:53.54), Williams’ Lauren Jones (4:53.83) and Kenyon’s Mariah Williamson (4:54.59) also competed in the A final.

Men’s 200 IM

Denison’s Jack Lindell took down his NCAA D3 record in the men’s 200-yard IM at the 2016 NCAA Division III Championships.

Lindell clocked a top time of 1:46.00 for the win, clipping his previous record of 1:46.07 set during prelims today.  That swim lowered the previous record of 1:46.23 set by Emory’s Andrew Wilson just a year ago.

Lindell became the first swimmer from Denison to win the event since Matt Trumbull did it back in 1999.

Johns Hopkins’ Evan Holder took second in 1:46.40 with Kenyon’s Ian Reardon (1:47.32) and Trevor Manz (1:48.70) claiming third and fourth.

Emory’s Chandler Lichtefeld (1:49.94), Denison’s Joe Brunk (1:50.38), Whitworth’s Wes Walton (1:50.63) and Washington U’s Michael Lagieski (1:52.32) finished fifth through eighth.
