First-year
Hayden Price lowered his own 100 backstroke school record to help lead a contingent from The College of Wooster swimming and diving teams during the Kenyon Fast Chance Invitational inside the Steen Aquatic Center.
Â
Price won the 100 backstroke event in a program-record time of 49.76, improving by 0.04 seconds upon his previous school record set back during Wooster Invitational in December. The first-year also climbed the rankings in the 100 individual medley, posting the sixth-fastest time in program history of 53.86 to finish fifth in the event.
Â
Three other Scots added their name or improved their positioning on the program top-10 list between senior
Emma Humbert, senior
Keara Wiley, and senior
Callum Glover. Humbert actually made moves in two events, the 100 individual medley and the 200 backstroke. In a 100 individual medley time trial, she finished second in a career-best 1:02.16 for the eighth-fastest time in program history. Humbert also finished sixth in the 200 backstroke in a career-best 2:10.06 to land in 10th on the program rankings. One additional career-best came in the 200 individual medley in a time of 2:15.24.
Â
Wiley cracked the 100 individual medley top-10 on the heels of Humbert, landing in 10th overall in a career-best 1:03.15 to finish fourth in the event. The Scots loved the 100 individual medley, as Glover's program top-10 time also came in that event, a career-best mark of 53.57 for fifth in program history.
Â
Both Wiley and Glover posted additional event top-10 finishes as Wiley came in 10th in the 50 freestyle in 24.68 and Glover placed seventh in the 100 freestyle in 46.21.
