(The former required a rally by anchor leg <strong>Benjamin Feldman,<\/strong> who went 19.30 on the end to overcome Oakland. The latter dashed an Oakland school-record swim with Penn setting its program record in 3:09.40.) Fallon had the fastest split on the 800 free relay at 1:35.56 as they also set a meet record at 6:28.24.<\/p>\n<p>The 400 IM remained in Penn\u2019s hands this year, in the most dramatic fashion. Teammate <strong>Jason Schreiber<\/strong> and <strong>Kevin Keil<\/strong> tied the gold medal, both posting a time of 3:49.45. That is under the NCAA consideration standard. Penn also picked up third thanks to <strong>Daniel Gallagher.<\/strong> Kiel was part of the 800 free relay win, Schreiber finished second to Fallon in the 200 breast with a B cut time and Gallagher was second in the 200 back with a B cut behind teammate <strong>James Curreri.<\/strong> Third in the breaststroke podium sweep was <strong>Neil Simpson,<\/strong> who was also third in the 200 IM.<\/p>\n<p>After his anchor turn on the 200 medley relay, Feldman brought home the 400 medley relay and swam second on the 200 free foursome. He won the 50 free in 19.83 seconds, just .01 off a B cut, and obtained a B cut with a meet-record time of 46.79 in the 100 butterfly.

Michael Foley was the mile runner-up.<\/p>\n<p>After being foiled twice on anchor legs, Oakland finally got its victory in the concluding 400 free relay. The foursome of <strong>Samuel McKenzie, Christian Bart, Charlie Brown<\/strong> and <strong>Marko Khotynetskyi<\/strong> set the meet record in 2:55.49 to beat Penn by a relatively wide margin of 1.44 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>McKenzie won the 200 free, in a Zippy Invitational record 1:35.70 that was also an NCAA B cut and in a 1-2 finish with teammate <strong>Jonas Cantrell,<\/strong> then finished third in the 100 free, a spot behind Bart.

The 500 free time is a school record.<\/p>\n<p>Fellow frosh <strong>Noah De Geus<\/strong> finished second in the 100 breast and third in the 50 free.

Garcia set school records in the 100 fly (47.11) and 100 back (47.78). His time of 1:38.39 off the front of the 800 free relay is a school record, as was the foursome\u2019s final time of 6:34.15.<\/p>\n<p>Cornell\u2019s depth accrued the bulk of its points, despite not getting a victory. <strong>Chris Kostelni<\/strong> came closest, just over a second in arrears of Wilmes in the 500. He was also third in the mile. <strong>Sebastian Wolff<\/strong> was Fallon\u2019s runner-up in the 200 IM with a B cut, and <strong>Alberto Garcia<\/strong>finished second in the 200 fly with teammate <strong>Jacques Grove<\/strong> a spot back. <strong>Soodong Kim<\/strong> was third in both diving events.<\/p>\n<p>On the women\u2019s side of the Zippy Invitational, Akron\u2019s win was borne out in its relay dominance. The Zips took home all five relays on the women\u2019s side, with <strong>Madelyn Gatrall<\/strong> on all five squads and <strong>Abby Daniel<\/strong> on four. The 400 medley relay was home to the swim of the meet, courtesy of Gatrall, who led off in 51.84. That downs the Akron pool record, <a href=\"https:\/\/gozips.com\/news\/2022\/12\/2\/womens-swimming-diving-gatrall-breaks-mac-school-100-back-record-akron-leads-zippy-invite\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Zips&#8217; school mark and the Mid-American Conference record<\/a>. It\u2019s a quarter-second faster than the 52.10 set in 2019 by Akron\u2019s <strong>Sadie Fazekas.<\/strong> Gatrall went a hundredth slower in 51.85 to win the 100 back event.<\/p>\n<p>Gatrall won the 50 free \u2013 in 22.52, with Daniel third, both in NCAA B cuts \u2013 and the 200 back. Both backstroke swims were 1-2 finishes with teammate <strong>Weronika Gorecka<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Daniel won the 100 fly, was second in the 200 IM (both in B cuts) and posted the third-fastest time in prelims of the 100 free before scratching it to win the 200 fly in a B-cut time. <strong>Andrea Fischer<\/strong> won the 200 breast after finishing second in the 100 breast. Teammate <strong>Madeline Dyer<\/strong> took third in both. <strong>Rachel Sabotin<\/strong> landed third in the 200 IM, 100 fly and 200 fly. <strong>Rachel Schiffli<\/strong> finished second in the 100 free.<\/p>\n<p>Oakland star <strong>Susan LaGrand<\/strong> reset her school records in the 200 IM and the 200 back. She set the Zippy Invitational record by clocking in at 1:57.33 in the former. The latter saw her finish third in the individual event after having booked a B cut of 1:53.37 in a time trial. She also won the 400 IM in a B cut of 4:15.49 and claimed third in the 100 back.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jordyn Shipps<\/strong> (100 fly) and <strong>Taylor Bailey<\/strong> (200 breast) added runner-up finishes for the Grizzlies, the latter with an NCAA consideration time.<\/p>\n<p>Penn did damage with its distance contingent. <strong>Anna Kalandadze<\/strong> led the Quakers to the top four spots in the 500 free with her B cut of 4:42.45. Second was <strong>Anna Moehn,<\/strong> who was also fourth in the 400 IM. Third was <strong>Catherine Buroker,<\/strong> followed by <strong>Sydney Bergstrom.<\/strong> Kalandadze (16:07.95), Buroker and Bergstrom swept the mile podium, the first two getting NCAA consideration times. Kalandadze was also third in the 200 free, and <strong>Vanessa Chong<\/strong> was the 200 fly runner-up.<\/p>\n<p>Buffalo picked up wins on each of the last two days. <strong>Katie Pollock<\/strong> won the 100 breast in 1:00.92. <strong>Toni Naccarella,<\/strong> who had been second in the 50 and 200 free, won the 100 free in 48.94.
