2010 SCAC Championship Results - Day 2

Jordan DeGayner won Colorado College's first title at the 2010 Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Championships by winning the 200-yard freestyle on Friday night.

DeGayner touched the wall in a school record time of 1:40.14, which is also an NCAA “B” cut qualifying time. He came from behind in the final 50 yards to finish .93 seconds ahead of DePauw's Josh Cook, who set the conference record in the event last year in Nashville, Tenn.

DeGayner first broke is own record in the event during the preliminaries on Friday morning with a time of 1:40.41, giving the sophomore three record-breaking efforts in two days.

Tom Grossinger eclipsed his school record in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 58.89, which was good for fifth place.

“This was a great night for us with two more school records, personal best times all around and some fantastic racing,” head coach Anne Goodman James said. “The highlight was Jordan's win in the 200 free. Jordan's time is a very solid NCAA “B” cut and just .36 from the automatic cut.”

In the 200 medley relay, DeGayner and Grossinger combined with Jeff Nadel and Flynn McGuire to record a third-place finish with a season-best time of 1:37.68.

The same foursome ended the night by finishing fourth in the 800 free relay, touching the wall in a 7:06.77, just .12 behind third-place Sewanee.

Joseph Shaner started the day by claiming seventh place in the 3-meter diving with 302.80 points, good for his second podium appearance of the meet. 

The Tigers maintained fourth place by finishing the day with 294 points, just 35 behind centre College College. DePauw University leads the men's standings with 711 points, followed by Trinity University with 653.
