LEWISBURG, Pa. – Loyola University Maryland set school records in the men's and women's 200-yard medley relay, and
Jack Still set a new mark in the 3-meter diving event as the Greyhounds wrapped up the first day of the 2023 Patriot League Championships.
Still scored 302.15 points to break Michael Brown's 2013 school best of 299.4. Still went into the evening's final seeded sixth, but he moved up to fifth with his performance.
The women's 200 medley relay got things started in record-setting fashion for Loyola as it finished second, just nine-hundredths of a second behind Navy.
Lily Mead,
Paige Simko,
Michela Schultz and
Charley Tulio clocked a time of 1:40.33, breaking the 2020 school record which had been 1:41.65.
Loyola's men were not to be outdone in their version of the relay, as
Teddy Cross,
Max Verheyen,
Patrick Hayburn and
Caleb Kelly raced to a school-record time of 1:26.66 to finish second behind Navy. The quartet's swim was three-tenths of a second faster than the Greyhounds swan to set a school record at last year's Patriot League Championships.
After the diving concluded, the Greyhounds raced in the last two events of the day, the 800-yard freestyle relays.
Loyola's men –
Henry Mueller, Verheyen,
