The men’s swimming team remained in third place after day two of the championships.
Brian Morrison highlighted the men’s night in the pool for the Antelopes, taking second in the 400 IM (3:51.57). The time was a season best and new school record. The 200 free relay team of Artem Tretiakov, Michael Branning, Buddy Turnerand Kyle Shores finished second in a tightly contested final. GCU finished with a 1:19.98, just .21 of a second off the winning swim by Drury. Everton Kida, Eetu Karvonen, Taylor and Tretiakov finished fifth in the 400 medley relay with a 3:15.27.
