📖 The story

First Kent, then Wade

Four weeks after Kent Olsson broke the oldest record on the boys books in the 500 Freestyle, his older brother Wade Olsson, a senior, swam 4:53.96 — 9.17 seconds under Kent's mark, the first 500 under five minutes in the team's records. He also lowered his own 200 Individual Medley record to 1:55.22.

Jackson Eftekhar won the 100 Fly, and 14 swims were season bests, led by Ella Bissmeyer (−7.34s, 200 IM).
