Cleveland State Summary

What else can I say!! We walked into a buzz saw and we knew it!!! The difference is that we actually swam well in a pool that can give us a lot of problems with its depth. I was extremely pleased with our performances at CSU in a quad meet with CSU/Niagara and Valpo. Our Medley Relay finished third with a solid 3:28.97 which is easily our best this season. CSU split there relays to 1-2 us and succeeded with a 55.6 breast split on one of them!! In the 1000 Ethan Rowan continued his trend of best times each time he hits the water with a 6 second improvement to finish in 9:37.31 and Elias Homerin finally showed what he is capable of with a 9:53.25. Mike Dansa and Kevin Murphy had impressive 200 frees with our best of the season so far and the same story can be said of the 50 free with Dawid Kundzik and Jared Robinson throwing up 21.27 & 21.48. We knew we were not our best in the 2 IM with Yi Liu staying home due to illness but Mariusz continued to perform well there and Chris Baker got his first crack at the 2IM of the season and went 1:58.98 which is solid for him at this point of the season. Dawid won the 100 free with a 46.96 while Nate Destree and Francisco Nieves posted times that showed they are improving and on track with season best 49.06 and 49.07. David Erickson had the best individual swim of the day with an impressive 1:56.64 in the 200 back and took top spot among our group of 2 backers. The 500 free was OK with Ethan going 4:41.87 but poorly split this race and easily could have busted the 4:39 barrier. Mariusz continued his winning ways in the 200 breast beating the very solid CSU swimmers with a best in-season time of 2:06.32. Our 400 Free Relay's were nothing special @ 3:12.23/3:20.43 (sorry guys).

Swimmer of the Meet was determined to be Mariusz due to his 57.7 split in the Medley Relay and his 200 Breast performance.
