LEWISBURG, Pa. – The Loyola University Maryland men's 200 medley relay won a conference title on the first night of the 2025 Patriot League Championships, setting a school, meet and conference record in the process.
 
Joe Hayburn, Brennan Coyle, Patrick Hayburn and Caleb Kelly swam 1:23.74 to break the previous meet and conference records by almost a full second.
 
Joe Hayburn opened with a split of a school-record 50 backstroke time of 21.23 seconds, and the Greyhounds were in third after the leg. Coyle then went 23.41 seconds in the breaststroke to pass Navy and pull the Greyhounds into second through 100 yards.
 
Patrick Hayburn had the race's fastest butterfly time – 20.21 seconds ­– and Army West Point's lead was down to eight-hundredths of a second.
 
Caleb Kelly took care of the rest for the Greyhounds, streaking to a split of 18.89 seconds in the 50 freestyle to give the Greyhounds a win by almost a half-second.
 
The Greyhounds' time not only set the three records, but it is an NCAA 'B' Standard Qualifying Time and is only 12-hundredths of a second shy of an automatic qualifying bid.
 
Loyola's win was not the only podium finish of the night for the Greyhounds. The women's 200 medley relay opened the session with a second-place finish in a school-record time.
 
Lily Mead swam an opening leg time of 24.12 seconds in the 50 backstroke that set a school record and put the Greyhounds in the lead. Avery Stimmel and Haley Robinson followed by going 29.06 and 23.57 in the breaststroke and butterfly legs, respectively, and Charley Tulio closed with a 22.43 in the freestyle.
 
Loyola finished in 1:39.18, only a hundredth of a second back of Navy's 1:39.17.
 
Later in the Wednesday evening program, the women's 800 freestyle relay – Michaela Schultz, Riley Fried, Julia Mason and Laura Latham ­– turned in a school record of 7:22.83 and finished fifth.
 
Henry Mueller led off the men's 800 freestyle relay with a 200 split of 1:36.78 to set a school record. Harry Hearn, Hayden Bartz and Luke Dwyer joined him for a fourth-place finish in 6:32.28.
 
Through two events on the men's side, the Greyhounds are in second place, and the women are sixth after three.
