GRINNELL, IA – The Grinnell College Men's Swimming and Diving competed in a friendly meet Saturday in their home pool. Scores were not kept and there was no diving contested in this three-team meet featuring the Pioneers and club teams from University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Iowa State University.

Several men's swimmers climbed up the all-time record-board. Even more glided into first-place victories.

In the 200 butterfly, Theo Mott '24 now ranks 17^th in Grinnell history with a time of 2:00.53 seconds. Adam Feilmayer '25 reaches the 16^th spot in Grinnell history in the 100 backstroke after swimming the race in 54.70 seconds. Kevin Fitzgerald's '25 time of 4:15.81 in the 400 IM brings him into 13^th place in the program record books. Although not a record-making swim, Enrique Valero Ying '23 swam an impressive 1:58.68 in the 20m IM to win first place by nearly 5 seconds.

Harry Nelson '25 had a day to remember in the pool, finishing the 200 freestyle in 1:48.53 for first place and dropping over a minute on his previous best in 1650 freestyle by clocking in at 17:00.63, also for first place. This effort propelled Nelson into the 13^th position in the 1650 freestyle all-time at Grinnell.

Between both men's and women's teams, 11 Grinnell College student-athletes finished their season with this meet. Headed into the Midwest Conference Championship meet hosted at Grinnell College the weekend of February 18^th-20^th, the Men's Swimming and Diving team is, by all accounts, in good form.
