The women clocked in a second and a half faster than their entry time.<\/p>\n<p>Carson-Newman&#8217;s relay consisting of <strong>Elly Culp<\/strong>, <strong>Mary Northcutt<\/strong>, <strong>Meredith Ginn<\/strong>, and <strong>Laurel Sankowski<\/strong> clocked in a 1:33.35 to take the silver over Wingate. <strong>Maria Madsen<\/strong>, <strong>Abby Kosic<\/strong>, <strong>Lauren Arrington<\/strong>, and <strong>Sara Aringsmann<\/strong> rounded out the top three slots in 1:34.21.<\/p>\n<h1>Men&#8217;s\u00a0200 Free Relay<\/h1>\n<p>In\u00a0the same\u00a0fashion as\u00a0their Queens teammates, <strong>Alex Kunert<\/strong>, <strong>Brody Heck<\/strong>, <strong>Marius Kusch<\/strong>, and <strong>Dima Sydorchenko<\/strong> were all sub 20 to break the conference relay record with a 1:17.59, decimating the previous record of 1:18.84. This time put the men four seconds ahead of their entry time, and their next closest competitor.<\/p>\n<p>Carson-Newman&#8217;s men, like their women&#8217;s program, edged out Wingate to take second in the relay. <strong>Ivo Kunzle<\/strong>, <strong>Jonny Goss<\/strong>, <strong>Seth Hughes<\/strong>, and <strong>Chad Andoljsek<\/strong> came into the wall at 1:21.02.

The time is the 12th fastest recorded time in short course history. This breaks the NCAA Division II 100 fly record set back in 2015 by Queens Matt Josa (44.89), and the conference record of 45.78. And\u00a0Kusch completed the race unshaved.<\/p>\n<p>For reference, Kusch has the fastest time in the nation this year.

The record set back in 2016 by Queen&#8217;s teammate Dion Dreesens (1:34.20) was shattered. Kunert dropped a second and a half from his prelims race. Kunert&#8217;s teammates <strong>Alen Mosic<\/strong> (1:35.51) and <strong>Skyler Cook-Weeks<\/strong> (1:37.11)\u00a0swept the podium for Queens.<\/p>\n<p>Lennart Queiss (1:37.34), <strong>Matthew George<\/strong> (1:38.75), Lukas Kraft (1:40.01), and <strong>Jon Lancaster<\/strong> (1:40.27), and <strong>Brody Heck<\/strong> (1:40.88) earned the remaining top\u00a0eight slots.<\/p>\n<h1>Women&#8217;s 100 Breast<\/h1>\n<p>Shelly Prayson won the 100 breast, and crushed her own conference record from two years prior in 1:00.90.

His 53.16 was enough to best second place swimmer Jan Delkeskamp (53.99). Jacob Queen&#8217;s 55.85 was enough to take third. <strong>Tyler Bowersox<\/strong> added over half a second to his prelims time, but his race still carried him to a fourth place finish. <strong>Andrew Lockhart<\/strong> (56.24), <strong>Andrei Roman<\/strong> (56.40), <strong>Federico Higareda<\/strong> (56.46), and <strong>Garrett Stelling<\/strong> (57.13) battled it out for the remaining top eight places.<\/p>\n<h1>Women&#8217;s 100 Back<\/h1>\n<p><strong>Bobbi Gichard<\/strong> of Queens won the 100 back in 54.06, dropping a half a second from her prelims time.
