Johns Hopkins senior Evan Holder got the record that had eluded him by 5/100 in this morning’s heats. While his 1:36.67 prelims swim took down the meet record, it was just shy of the NCAA Division III record of 1:36.62 that Kenyon’s Dennis Mulvihill set in 1988.

It wasn’t even close in finals, though. Holder was out about 3/10 faster, and back in an even 24.8-24.8 to take a big .20 chunk out of the record, settling both the meet and the Division III marks at 1:36.42.

As he had done in heats this morning, Keene State senior Ryan Boraski led the pace over the first half of the race. He jumped out front right away and build up a 3/4 body-length lead over the first 100. Holder moved up on Boraski and pulled even by the 150 wall. Over the final 50 yards it was Evan Holder against the clock. He dug in and finished strong, .25 faster than he’d been in the morning.
