Reznick, a senior from Pleasanton, Calif., won the 50 breaststroke, 100 individual medley, 200 IM and 400 IM as Duke topped BC, 276.5-141.5, and UNCW, 252-160. Reznick was also second in the 100 breaststroke. He swam legs on both of Duke’s winning medley relays. Reznick’s time in the 100 IM (50.46) is a Duke program record.
