Senior Ross Green picked up Lehigh’s first individual gold medal of this year’s championships, winning the 100 yard butterfly with a time of 49.31. It’s the second individual title in as many years for Green, who won the 200 yard IM last year. Green also picked up a second place finish, teaming with Tom Gilbert, Grant Flothmeier and Sean Herman to take second in the 200 yard medley relay.
