Bowling Green sophomore Estela Davis Ortiz broke the meet record in the women’s 200 backstroke with her time of 1:57.80. She had a strong meet all around. Later she won the 400 IM in 4:20.11, only to follow with that with a new meet record in the 100 backstroke at 54.97. That swim, however, was an exhibition swim and did not count for team points. In her final individual swim of the meet, she finished second in the 200 IM at 2:05.12.
Oakland University sophomore Aleksander Danielewski followed the women’s 200 backstroke with an impressive 1:45.17. He finished five seconds ahead of the nearest competitor. He continued to win the men’s 100 backstroke in 48.30 and the 200 IM in 1:50.40.
