March 06, 2020 | Men's Swimming and Diving
CARBONDALE, Ill. – Freshman Jared Holder had a day to remember at the MAC Swimming and Diving Championships Friday as the true freshman set the school record in the 100 Back on three separate occasions to lead the Ball State men's swimming and diving team.
Holder's first record swim occurred in the prelims when he recorded a time of 48.75. That performance qualified him for the A Final later on. In that final, Holder clocked in at 48.58 to finish third in the event and break his own record. Two times was not enough though as Holder swam the first leg of the 400 Medley Relay with a time of 48.50 to complete a run of three school records in three tries.
The freshman's heroics in the relay led to another school record as Ben Andrew, Bryce Handshoe and Duncan McLarty joined Holder to set a new program best in the 400 Medley Relay with a time of 3:17.32. The team's performance was good for fourth place in the event.
Andrew had quite the day individually in addition to helping set the relay record. The senior captain earned championship swims in both the 100 Breast and 100 Fly. In the 100 Breast, Andrew recorded a career best of 56.00 to finish eighth while taking seventh in the 100 Fly.
Hunter Ongay led Ball State on the diving boards in the 3-Meter prelims with a score of 273.95. The sophomore earned a place in the championship on Saturday with his performance.
In the team standings, the Cardinals maintained fourth place with 286 points. Missouri State leads the way with 607. Full standings are below.
