Saturday Prelim Heat Sheets


CANTON, Ohio – Findlay extended its lead and remains in command as the third day of the combined Great Midwest/Mountain East Swimming & Diving Championships played out on Friday at the C.T. Branin Natatorium.
 
The Oilers had a hand in two of the three new championship meet records that were broken, including the 100 backstroke by freshman phenom Tim Stollings and senior Isaac Stretch in the 100 breaststroke.
 
Stollings stole the show once again, breaking the overall and meet record in the 100 backstroke with a time of 48.53. He had previously been the record holder based off his performance at the Calvin Winter Invitational.
 
Stollings initially broke the standard during the morning prelims before notching his fifth event win. Only two different swimmers have recorded six wins in the combined conference championship meet format – UF’s Janko Radmanovic and Ben Rath; Rath is currently on the Oilers’ coaching staff.
 
Stretch was very close to breaking his own conference record in the 100 breaststroke while setting the meet record with a time of 55.64 in the finals. It was his third meet record this week following relay records in the 200 freestyle and 400 medley.
 
Findlay has over 1,100 points in the team scoring while Tiffin is second with 832 points. Host Malone is third as the Great Midwest sits 1-2-3 going into Saturday. The Oilers are closing in on their third consecutive team title with 10 men's programs in the mix this year. 
 
Tiffin’s Miguel Angel Garcia Arroyo secured his third individual event win in the 200 butterfly. He also helped the Dragons nearly break the 800 freestyle record, a time that now ranks second all-time among Great Midwest/Mountain East programs.
 
Arroyo has also captured titles in the 200 IM and had a meet record in the 400 IM.
 
A total of nine championship meet records have been broken so far by this year’s field of talented men’s student-athletes.
