Freshman Becomes Fifth-Fastest WC Swimmer Ever in 100 Butterfly

CHESTERTOWN, MD -- Freshman Greg Lee (Haddonfield, NJ/Haddonfield Memorial) broke the pool record in the 100 butterfly to highlight a 126-79 win for host Washington College over Eastern Shore rival Salisbury University in non-conference men's swimming action tonight inside Casey Swim Center.  The victory was the Shoremen's (1-1) 20th in their past 21 meetings with the Sea Gulls (1-2).

Lee's pool-record time of 53.40 in the 100 butterfly made him the Shoremen's fifth-fastest swimmer ever in the event. Senior Austin Auger (McLean, VA/Langley) and freshman Austin Yocum (Lebanon, PA/Cedar Crest) each won two individual events for the Shoremen. Auger captured the 200 individual medley in 2:06.96 and the 100 breaststroke in 1:03.66, while Yocum won the 200 freestyle in 1:50.40 and the 500 freestyle in 5:10.17.

Freshman James Ray (Timonium, MD/Towson) won the 100 freestyle in 49.59 and placed second in the 50 freestyle in 22.59. Senior Nick Longworth (Media, PA/Strath Haven) took first place in the 100 backstroke in 56.84.

The Shoremen also won both relays. Longworth, Auger, Lee, and freshman Spencer Kelley (Weston, CT/Weston) won the 200 medley relay in 1:40.01, while Lee, Longworth, Ray, and Yocum finished first in the 200 freestyle relay in 1:30.67.

Kelley added a second-place finish in the 100 freestyle in 50.42, while senior Johnny Helenek (Gaithersburg, MD/Gaithersburg) was second in the 100 breaststroke in 1:05.67.

The Shoremen return to action Friday with a 3:30 p.m. non-conference home meet against St. Mary's College of Maryland.
