Anderson Breaks Four School Records in Halloween Invitational

The Anderson University men's swimming and diving team locked up third place in the Halloween Invitational on Saturday in Bloomington, Ill.

Anderson took down four school records, breaking the school records in the 500-yard mixed distance freestyle relay, the 3x100 backstroke relay, the 3x100 individual medley relay and the 3x100 butterfly relay.

Ben Hall was named Raven of the Meet after contributing to three school record relays and an individual personal record.

COACH NATHAN MANLEY'S COMMENTS

It was fun to race some fresh faces and we appreciate Illinois Wesleyan adding a little fun to the afternoon with the Halloween theme. The women and men swam really hard despite this being the fourth day of completion in the last 16 calendar days. Although we only get to swim these unique relays once a year at this meet, both teams broke the team records in every one of them we entered.
