Grant House and Madelyn Shaffer both had amazing meets at the 2016 Southwest Ohio Classic, but House had the biggest score by taking down a legendary Joe Hudepohl meet record from 1992.

Men’s Meet

Cincinnati St. Xavier’s Grant House took down a legendary meet record with a 1:37.91. That swim crushed the 1992 mark of 1:39.43 set by former St. Xavier swimmer Joe Hudepohl. Hudepohl went on to have a tremendous swimming career, winning two Olympic gold medals in relay duty for the U.S. He won gold on the men’s 400-meter free relay at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics and on the men’s 800-meter free relay at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.

House also took down the meet record in the men’s 500-yard free with a 4:26.75. That swim smashed a few seconds off David Mosko’s 2007 meet record of 4:28.29 set while swimming for St. Xavier. Moeller’s Cooper Hodge also cleared the previous mark with a 1:48.33 for second.

Hodge claimed the men’s 100-yard back title in 49.77. Hodge captured his second title with a 1:49.83 in the men’s 200-yard IM. That lowered his previous meet record of 1:50.54 from 2014.
