Will Crewe sets school record in 200 fly

ORANGE, Calif. – The Chapman University men's and women's swim and dive teams competed in a SCIAC meet featuring Redlands and Occidental earlier this morning, where the women earned a victory over the Bulldogs. Freshman William Crewe broke yet another school record, this time in the 200 butterfly.

Crewe beat out sophomore Chase Mitchell's old record of 1:56.27, swimming the race just under a second faster and finishing in first place at 1:55.68. The rookie was also part of the 200 medley relay that placed second with a time of 1:38.55, featuring fellow freshmen Josh Modglin and Justin Lammert and junior Quinn Gates. Modglin kept swimming well this afternoon, coming in first place in the 100 back with a time of 54.41.

Freshman Simon Duyungan qualified for regionals in the 1-meter boards with a career-best score of 279.85. The rookie placed first in the event, beating out the second place finisher by more than 20 points. Junior Kellyn Toole continues to be a force to be reckoned with, as she swept the diving events on the women's side with a score of 275.15 on the 1-meter board and 269.70 on the 3-meter board.

The women's 400 free relay team of sophomore Molly Davis, junior Kristina Fong, freshman Carina Laukaitis and senior Rachel Isaacs placed first with a time of 3:45.59. Davis went on to finish first in the 100 free with a time of 54.83.

Senior Mary Welton and sophomore Katharine Buliga finished the 1650 free race hand-in-hand, as Welton placed first with a time of 19:12.99 and Buliga was just a few seconds behind her in second at 19:27.92.

The Panthers travel to Biola on Saturday, Jan. 27 but return to Allred Olympic Pool the next weekend on Saturday, Feb. 3 to take on Claremont-Mudd-Scripps in another SCIAC battle.
