HOUSTON, TX - Seattle U men's and women's swimming wrapped up their second, and first full day at the Big West Championships on Thursday.
"We had a very good first full day today with four more school records and dozen of personal bests," Head Coach Joe Dykstra said. "We are really excited moving into some of our best races tomorrow and should have many more swimmers advance to finals."
The men's team set four new program records on the second day of competition. Individually Hennig Colsman tied the school record in the 50 Freestyle as he took first in the B final with a finish of 19.88.
