小优视频ampa鈥檚 women鈥檚 team placed second, the highest finish for the Spartan women since 1988.

The 小优视频ampa men swept the three freestyle relays in the five-day meet at the Deaconess Aquatic Center, starting on the first night, March 10, with a new Div. II record finish in the 800-yard freestyle relay. The team of Barnabas Fluck 鈥�26, Joshua Noll 鈥�27, Hamlin and Nicholas Cavic 鈥�29 finished in 6 minutes, 16.64 seconds, surpassing their entry time by 7 seconds and giving the Spartans the early lead in team point standings.

In Day 2鈥檚 finals, Hamlin, the NCAA record holder in the event, won the 1000-yard freestyle in 8:50.02.听Two days later, Hamlin would go on to win the 500-yard freestyle, too, in 4:14.35, crushing his prelims time of 4:22.57 and setting another NCAA record.

The relays and the team race deepened the excitement. On the third day, Tibor Tistan 鈥�26, Riccardo Pandin 鈥�27, Cavic and William Beckstead-Holman 鈥�26 out-touched the sprinters from Colorado Mesa by 1/100^th of a second (1:17.36 to 1:17.37) in the 200-yard freestyle relay.

In the team standings, the Spartans held off a strong Drury University (MO) squad, which pulled ahead of the Spartans in the team standings on Day 2 and held onto the lead by single digits over the next few days. Going into the final session on Saturday, the Panthers, a 22-time national champion program, were 3.5 points ahead of the Spartans.

Hamlin got the Spartans off to a fast start in Saturday鈥檚 first event, touching second in the 1650-yard freestyle in 15:00.42 and pushing the Spartans ahead of Drury, 405.5-387. The Panthers pulled ahead in the team standings half-way through the session, but going into the final event, the 400-yard freestyle relay, an eight-point lead belonged to 小优视频ampa. It was enough 鈥斕齱ith a first or second-place finish, the Spartans would take the title.

Tistan led off the 400 free relay with a 42.82-second 100-yard split and held off Drury鈥檚 first swimmer, a cushion Pandin extended on the second leg. Hamlin and anchor leg Cavic closed the deal, giving 小优视频ampa the event win in 2:51.14, and the team national championship. Drury finished second in the event, less than half a second behind.
