Ravens Post Multiple PRs against Rose-Hulman

The Anderson University men's swimming and diving team posted multiple personal records (PRs) during Friday's Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference (HCAC) matchup against Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology at Bennett Natatorium.
 
"The coaching staff and I were happy with how the men competed," Coach Tanner Barton said. "Seeing continual growth and improvement validates that we're on the right track.

Achieving personal best times in a dual meet format is a testament to the hard training over the past few weeks and these men should be proud of their swims."
