Their momentum continued with junior Charles Korndorffer getting a new division and state record in the 100 fly (49.13) followed by another division and state record in the 100 back (49.72).
The Blue Jays won the 200 free relay (1:26.84) by over two-seconds to Catholic (Schwartz, Foley, Baudouin, Guerra). The sophomore Mike Foley started the Jesuit winning 400 free relay with a flat start time of 46.31 allowing the rest of his teammates (Edwards, Schwartz, Korndorffer) to close the race with a total time of 3:09.89.
A well deserving Catholic gets runner-up for the first time in five years with 3 runner-up relay performances and 3 individual title wins. Senior Sion Cavana got a new AAC record with his win in the 200 free (1:39.38). He also won the 100 free (46.17) – just edging out Jesuit’s Mike Foley. Catholic’s Mason Nyboer got the 500 (4:33.76) division record in a close race with his teammate Daniel Woodruff (4:34.09).
