INDIANAPOLIS – A weekend filled with record-breaking performances culminated Sunday night with the UIndy men's swim team taking the team title at the 13th-annual House of Champions. The women finished third overall in the 10-team field, trailing only Wisconsin-Green Bay and the host school IUPUI, both DI programs.

The men bested five Division I schools – IUPUI, Wisconsin-Green Bay, Western Illinois, Eastern Illinois and Evansville – along with Lewis, Bellarmine and Centre College. The Greyhound women finished in front of DI Butler, Evansville, Western Illinois and Eastern Illinois.

Below is a recap of the weekend action from the downtown Indianapolis IUPUI Natortium, including head coach Jason Hite's thoughts on the team's showing.

FRIDAY
After setting a meet record in the 200 freestyle relay a year ago, the Greyhound men defended their top spot in this year's event. The quartet of Marius Bornkessel, Romano Hoffmann, Demetrakis Haholiades and Bucky Coonradt narrowly edged out Lewis for the first-place finish (1:23.42).

Senior Ana Couto took fourth in the 500 freestyle A-final with a time of 5:03.96, good for sixth-best in program history.

In the same event on the men's side, freshman Vitor Botana (4:25.19) and senior Dawid Rybinski (4:33.21) finished first and third, respectively, in the A-final. Botana not only topped Rybinski's prior school-record, he also broke the meet record set in 2013 by more than three seconds.

Fellow-freshman George Oancea placed second in the men's 200 IM (1:51.11) A-final, also good for a top-five school time.

Fresh off a PNC GLVC Athlete of the Week honor, freshman Stefanie Haholiades backed it up with a win in the women's 50 freestyle (23.56), the third-best time in Greyhound history. Sophomore Malvina Shoukri (24.30) and senior Hannah Schuster (24.32) also scored well for the women's side, finishing second and third, respectively, in the B-final.

Sebastian Konnaris, Bartosz Zarzecki, Coonradt and Botana finished second in the men's 400 medley relay to conclude day one  of action.

SATURDAY  
The men wasted little time extending their first day team lead, as Konnaris, Zarzecki, Coonradt and Bornkessel took the top spot in the 200 medley relay (1:31.44).

Oancea picked up his second individual win of the weekend, breaking a meet record in the 400 IM (3:57.71). The Honuds swept the top-three spots in the race, with Hoffmann (4:01.62) and Nick Quigley (4:03.03) following in second and third, respectively.

Sophomore Laura Bem finished fourth in the women's 100 butterfly (58.81) B-final, while Alexis Dobrzynski finished first in the C-final.

Hannah Schuster placed third in the 200 freestyle A-final (1:54.42), and Stefanie Haholiades finished first in the B-final (1:54.80).

The Hounds picked up another first-place finish as Botana nearly set his second meet record of the weekend. The Brazilian topped the 200 freestyle field (1:38.24), missing out on the previous meet record by just .06 seconds.

Later, Zarzecki finished first in the 100 backstroke A-final (55.02), breaking teammate Sean Yeh's meet record from last year.

SUNDAY
Botana continued a dominant House of Champions showing with a decisive win in the 1650 freestyle (15:23.90), besting the previous school record by nearly 10 seconds.

For the women, Couto finished fourth in the 1650 free (17:40.53). Malvina Shoukri followed with a fourth-place finish in the 100 freestyle (52.66), while Stephanie Haholiades won the B-final (53.09).

In a thrilling men's 100 freestyle race that saw the top-four swimmers within a half-second of one another, Bornkessel finished second (45.40) while Dawid Rybinski finished fourth (45.53).

The men put the field away for good after taking four of the top-six spots in the 200 breastroke, led by Zarzecki's second-place finish (2:01.67).
