Men’s 200-yard Medley Relay
- Division II: 1:25.95 3/8/2017 Queens (Bunner, Fedyna, Pijulet, Mayes)
Six hours after becoming the first medley relay in Division II history to break the 1:26 barrier with their 1:25.95 in prelims, Queens University of Charlotte took another .06 off the new NCAA record, going 1:25.89 in finals. In prelims, the quartet of Zach Bunner, Rostyslav Fedyna, Paul Pijulet, and Ben Mayes had beaten a 3-year-old record set by Wayne State at the 2014 NCAA Division II Championships, a race in which Queens had placed second with 1:26.83.
Two of the Royals were just off their morning splits, while the other two were faster. Fedyna improved his breast by .05, while Pijulet knocked .45 off his 50 fly. The comparative splits are as follows:
