AKRON, Ohio --- With another school record and four more NCAA B cuts, the Golden Eagle men's swimming & diving team finished off an exceptional weekend at the Zippy Invite hosted by Akron.
 
Senior Connor Cary was once again the story of the day, with the veteran swimmer hitting B cuts in the 100 Free and the 200 Fly, an also helping the 400 Free Relay team to a new program record. Cary actually hit the standard in the 100 Free twice on Sunday, first in the prelims of the open event with a time of 45.15. The second time Cary hit the mark was actually in the opening leg of the 400 Free Relay, when he completed his leg in a time of 44.99.
 
As for the 400 Free Relay, they came very close to hitting an NCAA mark themselves, but still managed to break a 30-year-old program record in the process. The foursome of Cary, Dom Cortopassi, Gavin Guckavan and Austin Prokopec finished the relay in a time of 3:0052, breaking mark of 3:02.39 set back in 1993. That was good for eighth place in the field.
 
Cary hit another NCAA B cut, coming up less than a tenth of a second shy of David Bocci's program record set last year. The senior competed in a time trial, notching a time of 1:47.36 that was just .09 seconds shy of Bocci's school record.
 
Bocci, meanwhile, had an NCAA B cut of his own, earning his in the 200 Fly open. The junior posted a time of 1:48.15, putting him sixth overall in the field. That easily cleared the B cut standard and marks Bocci's next step in attempting to repeat as an All-American.
 
Elsewhere, Trent Napholz, Isaac Wayne and Colton Hollon all authored scoring performances in the 1650 Free. Napholz took 16^th with a time of 17:04.79, followed by Wayne's time of 17:21.13 and Hollon's mark of 17:33.04. Aidan Mohren scored in the 200 Back, finishing 15^th with a time of 1:57.92, and Prokopec took 21^st in the 100 Free with a time of 45.64. Michael Lintelman placed 16^th in the finals of the 200 Breast with a time of 2:04.10, and was joined by Henry Miller (18^th), Stewart Messer (20^th), Eric Kim (21^st), Lucas Santiago (22^nd) and Joe Feiser (23^rd) in scoring in the event.
