The relay team of
Camille Trinquesse, Pock,
Elias Noe and
Zachary Anthony made history Thursday evening. With a time of 3:06.12, the quartet swam the fastest 400 medley relay in Division II history. They held off GLVC-rival Drury by just .38 seconds on the way to winning the UIndy men's team's first national title in the event.
Earlier in the evening, Pock claimed his second individual event championship in as many days, winning the 400 IM with a time of 3:42.95. Teammate
Nico Basten joined him on the podium after his best 400 IM swim of the year placed him fourth in the grueling event.
Celina Schmidt earned runner-up status in the women's 400 IM, with her 4:16.20 representing a personal best. A Greyhound has now finished first or second in the women's 400 IM in five of the last six year.
The Greyhounds also combined to win three consolation finals on the evening, including a particularly memorable 100 fly swim by Noe. The junior out of Holbaek, Denmark crushed the field by posting the first sub-46 time in program history in the event (45.43).
Junior diver
Megan Sunderman earned her third straight All-America Honorable Mention nod on the 3-meter board. She qualified for the finals and racked up 382.55 to claim 16th place among the nation's best.
