CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind. – The Drury University men’s swimming and diving team earned its fourth league title in four years after a dominating performance at the Crawfordsville Aquatic Center in Crawfordsville, Indiana, Feb. 8-10 behind five broken league and Pool records.
The Panthers took the victory with 867 points, 189.5 ahead of runner-up Missouri S&T (677.5). University of Indianapolis claimed the third spot with 547.5 points, while Truman State University (392) and Lewis University placed fourth (326) and fifth, respectively. William Jewell College took sixth (285) and McKendree – in its first ever postseason event – placed seventh with 275 points. University of Missouri-St. Louis (262) was eighth, Bellarmine University (128) took ninth and Maryville University (50) rounded out the 10-team field in 10th.
A total of 26 records were broken at the 2017 championship meet among the men’s and women’s races, including eight on the final day, as 13 were broken by the men’s squads.
Drury freshman Joan Casanovas was the first record breaker of the day, recording a 15:25.83 in the 1,650-yard Freestyle for the new GLVC and Pool standard in a race he had never swam until this afternoon, which was a NCAA DII “B” Standard. Casanovas later swam the second leg of the Conference- and Pool-record breaking 400-yard Freestyle that touched in at 2:56.67 for another “B” Standard. His performances today and over the course of the four-day meet were enough to earn him the GLVC Freshman of the Year award.
In the 100-yard Freestyle, Missouri S&T’s Jon Glaser broke his own GLVC and Pool record that he set in the preliminaries earlier in the day with a 43.67 and NCAA “A” Standard. That, and many more wins and records was enough to help him garner the title of GLVC Swimmer of the Year. Miguel Chavez took after his teammate, setting a new 200-yard Breaststroke record for the GLVC and Pool after having done so earlier in the day during preliminaries, which was a NCAA “B” time.
UIndy’s Rodrigo Codo Berti rounded out the results in the 200-yard Backstroke, besting his old Conference and Pool record from 2016 of 1:45.80 with a new time of 1:45.65. The time was good for a NCAA “B” cut.
Additionally, in a show of true sportsmanship, Missouri S&T head coach Doug Grooms declined to accept his peers’ vote for GLVC Coach of the Year and, instead, gave the honor to Drury’s Brian Reynolds and Doug Schranck.
All first- and second-place finishers are awarded first- and second-team All-GLVC honors, respectively.
