Men’s 200 Free Relay
NCAA Record: 1:18.06 – Somers, Turk, Richardson, Ramsey (Kenyon – 2012)
2016 Champion: 1:19.83 – Kolleck, Hardwick, Schwartz, Smith (Emory)
The Emory men followed up the women’s record-setting performance with a victory of their own. The team of Trey Kolleck, Aaron Schwartz, Alex Hardwick and Oliver Smith. Smith blasted an 18.97 anchor leg, easily the fastest split this year in Division III. Having three swimmers under twenty seconds gave them the edge this time around. In fact, no other relay had a sub-20 split on it out of both final heats.
Johns Hopkins bettered their entry time by about seven tenths tonight to take second, while UW-Stevens Point claimed third in 1:21.05.
Senior Jesse Novak led his team to the win in the consolation final leading off in a 20.01. He joined Eric Feuerstein, Nicholas Marks and Nathan Wojtowicz for the victory. Out of the ordinary, Denison finished in tenth place and Kenyon tied with Tufts for eleventh.
Additionally, MIT was disqualified in the championship final.
