MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – The Macalester College men's swimming and diving team saw its swimmers break an individual school record and a relay school record on the third day of the MIAC Swimming & Diving Championships on Friday at the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center. The Scots remain in fifth place in the team standings with 136 points.

First year Charles Batsaikhan (Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia/East Chapel Hill) qualified for the finals of the 100-yard breaststroke by breaking the school record in the preliminaries. His time of 58.84 bested the old mark of 59.65, set by Sjon Swanson '06 in 2006. Batsaikhan then finished eighth in the final with a time of 59.49.

Seven more Scots scored points in their events. Senior Benjamin Blomquist (Las Vegas, Nev./Ed W. Clark) placed 11th in the 100-yard butterfly with a time of 53.96. In the 400-yard individual medley, first year Ryan McNeff (Seattle, Wash./Roosevelt) was 13th, senior Tanner Hubbard (Farmington, Minn./Farmington) took 14th and first year Ramier Villarama (Bayonne, N.J./High Tech) placed 16th, with McNeff and Villarama posting personal-best times. First year Jay Fanning (Tiffin, Ohio/Columbian) also swam a lifetime-best time in the 200-yard freestyle to finish 14th, while first year Adam Schroeder (Altadena, Calif./St. Francis) took 16th. First year Ben Lewin (Beachwood, Ohio/Beachwood) turned in a personal best in the prelims of the 100-yard breaststroke before taking 16th in the finals.
