Men’s 200 Medley Relay

Not to be outdone, the Queens team of Zach Bunner (21.74), Fedyna Rostyslav (23.83), Paul Pijulet (20.76), and Ben Mayes (19.62) set their own NCAA record in the men’s 200 medley relay prelims, posting a 1:25.95. That just snuck by Wayne State’s 2014 record of 1:26.04, making them the first Division II team to swim under 1:26.

The team from Fresno Pacific was back in second with a 1:27.90, while Grand Valley State University was third in 1:27.98. Notably, the teams from Bloomsburg and Limestone tied at 1:28.95, requiring a swim-off for who will make it into the championship final tonight.

Women’s 1000 Free Lineup

West Chester senior Theresa Hayward was the top seed out of this morning’s heats, dropping nearly 15 seconds from her seed to touch the wall in 9:54.83. Hayward was fourth in this event last year in a best time of 9:58.13, so expect her time from this morning to hold up and place her within the top 8 tonight. Bridgeport’s Annagrazia Bonsanti was the second fastest out of this morning’s heats with a 10:02.50, and may also have a chance to sneak into top 8 depending on how the championship heat places out. The top 3 finishers from this morning and top 8 seeds for tonight’s timed final can be found below:

Men’s 1000 Free Lineup

Simon Fraser’s Mackenzie Hamill was the top finisher out of the men’s morning heats with a 9:05.80, while Queens senior and defending NCAA champion in the event Dion Dreesens was right behind him with a 9:06.07. Dreesens was the NCAA champion in this event last year with a 9:01.79 but this year had to swim in the morning heats based on his seed. While he won’t be defending his title this year, both Hamill’s and Dreesens’ times should hold up to sneak into top 8 scoring tonight.
