Denison’s Jack Lindell put up the first NCAA D3 record of the meet with a swift 1:46.07 in the men’s 200-yard IM this morning at the 2016 NCAA Division III Championships.
Lindell’s time cleared the previous record of 1:46.23 set by Emory’s Andrew Wilson just a year ago at the NCAA Championships.
Johns Hopkins’ Evan Holder (1:46.85) also made a run at the record, and should help push Lindell to a sub 1:46 tonight.
Kenyon’s Ian Reardon (1:48.21) and Trevor Manz (1:48.83) qualified third and fourth.
Denison’s Joe Brunk (1:49.17), Whitworth’s Wes Walton (1:49.64) and Emory’s Chandler Lichtefeld (1:50.01) rounded out the top seven.
Williams’ Tim Kostolansky (1:50.06) and Washington U’s Michael Lagieski (1:50.06) set up a swimoff for eighth.
Denison finished the event with six total point-scorers so far (3 A and 3 B), while Johns Hopkins, Emory and Kenyon each had 4 total (3 A and 1 B) finalists.
