CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – A number of Blue Devil swimmers clocked season and personal-best times on the first day of action at the inaugural Carolina College Invitational, held at North Carolina's Koury Natatorium. Duke also broke one facility record fall during the course of two preliminary and finals sessions Saturday in the men's 200-yard medley relay.
Sophomore Lindsay Schlichte was the top finisher in the women's 500 freestyle with a mark of 4:54.45. She returned to the water in the second finals session to register a career-best time of 1:51.89 in a second-placing showing in the 200 freestyle. Fellow sophomore Adriaan Venter also posted a career-best in the 200 freestyle, tapping the wall at 1:41.42 for fourth place overall.
Freshman Hanna House notched the sixth-fastest time in program history in the 100 backstroke final, turning in the top time in the field at 55.30. Sophomore Joey Maginnis also earned a personal record in the 100 backstroke, remaining in ninth place on Duke's all-time top-10 in the event at 49.76. Classmate Mike Seaberg broke into the all-time top-10 in the men's 100 breaststroke, winning the event Saturday evening with a mark of 56.02.
Also collecting career-best times in Chapel Hill were junior Ryan Prince in the 200 IM (1:54.07) and sophomore Benedict Parfit, who won the 50 freestyle at 20.49.
Sophomore Kaz Takabayashi, sophomore Peter Kropp, junior David Armstrong and sophomore James Peek surpassed the Koury Natatorium record in the 200 medley relay, combining for a season-best mark of 1:26.49 for an NCAA 'B' cut and the second-fastest performance in school history. In addition, the 200 freestyle relay of Venter, Seaberg, Parfit and junior Jack Forese posted Duke's ninth-fastest time at 1:21.72 while taking second overall.
