OXFORD, Ohio - The final day of midseason competition saw two more program records fall to close out a very strong meet for the Dartmouth Men's Swim and Dive team.

"I am very proud of the fight the men showed throughout the week. Everyone stepped up to hit lifetime best times, team records, program top-10 times, and to dominate the boards. We grew a lot as a team and I think our men are only just starting to see how good they can be if we make the commitment to focus on the details and always choose to compete with confidence," explained head coach Milana. "This was a really good turning point for the men and I can't wait to get back to training to set up the second half of the season."

Tommy Erwin led the mile group with a 2^nd place finish, swimming a 15:45.25. Yan Dvoretskiy had a lifetime best time in the event of 15:54.11 to also break the 16 minute barrier. Jagger Stachtiaris led the B-final of the 200 backstroke finishing 9^th with a lifetime best time, making him Dartmouth's fifth fastest performer in the event. Reed Wallace battled for victory in the A-final of the 200 backstroke, taking away the win with a 1:47.07 and now sits in the number four program all-time top-10 spot in the event.

Logan Pack led the way in the 100 Freestyle with another team record, going 44.15 for a lifetime best to finish 2^nd overall. Colton Rasmussen was right behind him, finishing third with a personal best of 44.27 that would have also been under the previous program record in the event, but now he sits 2^nd overall in the all-time top-10 performer's list. They were joined by William McClelland finishing in 6^th with a lifetime best time. Two other big green, Isaac Weigel and Yan Dvoretskiy, rounded out the majority Dartmouth A-final of the 100 free. Dean Gustavson also earned a lifetime best in the 100 freestyle earlier in the C-final.

The 200 Breaststroke saw Eddy Chen break the 2:00 barrier for the first time, going a 1:59.61 to finish 2^nd, now ranking as Dartmouth's third fastest performer ever in the event. Jacob Turner followed in 3^rd place, going a 2:00.85 which is now seventh on the all-time top-10 times list. Jacob Turner got right back in the water for the next event, leading the Big Green 200 Butterfly squad with a lifetime best time of 1:48.21 to finish 2^nd overall. This time ranks him as the fourth fastest Dartmouth performer in the event.
