PRINCETON, N.J. — The Lehigh men's swimming and diving team had a successful first day at the Big Al Invitational at Princeton University on Friday, able to take on Duke, Penn State and Northwestern, as well as the Tigers.
Â
Highlighted by a school record broken during the morning session, the success carried over to the evening portion of the event with another record being broken, this time a freshman record.
Â
Junior Walker Wilson broke his own school record of 4:26.72 in the 500 yard freestyle, swimming to a time of 4:25.96 in the preliminary race Friday morning. He beat out Michael Daly from Penn State and Northwestern's Liam Gately in the event.
Â
Freshman Connor Sept broke the freshman record in the 100 yard breaststroke event with a time of 56.56 Friday evening, narrowly missing out on the school record of 56.53 set by Grant Flothmeier in 2006, which is the oldest standing school record in Lehigh's program.
Â
Overall, it was a solid day for the men, despite finishing last out of the five team with a team score of 423.5. The men will be back in the pool on Saturday for Day 2 of the Big Al Invite at Princeton.
The meet will be streamed live on ESPN+ (Subscription Required) at 10 a.m.
