Men's Swimming finishes second at LWC Fall Frenzy Invitational

COLUMBIA, Ky. – The Lindsey Wilson men's swimming team concluded the final day of the LWC Fall Frenzy Invitational on Saturday with a second-place overall finish at the Holloway Health and Wellness Center.

The Blue Raiders finished only behind Lindenwood-Belleville (Ill.) in the team points competition.

Throughout the day, a total of eight national standards were achieved by the Lindsey Wilson swimmers, including six "A" cuts and a pair of "B" cuts.

Right out of the gate the Blue Raiders picked up a pair of "A" standards in the 200-yard medley relay.

The quartet of Clemens Patzold, Jonas Muller, Jose Prado de Lima and Zachary Patzer won the race with a time of 1:40.48, while Iker Larzabal, Taylor Thompson, Travis Durocher and Mark Richard finished fourth, but their time of 1:46.59 was also good enough for the "A" mark.

Larzabal, Patzer, Patzold and Prado de Lima obtained an "A" cut in the 800-yard freestyle relay with a time of 7:39.02, finishing third in the event.

Prado de Lima, Patzer, Larzabal and Patzold made it a perfect 3-for-3 day in "A" relays as the foursome achieved the national mark in the 400-yard freestyle relay with a time of 3:19.75.

Four more national standards fell in individual events during the day, two each by Muller and Patzold.

Muller won both the 100-yard breaststroke and 200-yard breaststroke events, earning a "B" cut in the 100 and "A" cut in the 200. Patzold won the 100 and 200-yard backstroke events, accomplishing his "A" in the 100 and "B" in the 200. His time in the 100-backstroke also set a new school record for the event.

Patzold nearly added a third individual standard, but finished less than a second off a "B" cut in the 100-yard butterfly where he finished third with a time of 55.40.

Patzer almost achieved a "B" cut of his own in the 100-yard freestyle but finished just .13 seconds off the mark, despite finishing the race in second place.

Larzabal and Patzer would go on to add a one-two finish in the 200-yard freestyle event.

Lindsey Wilson is back in action on Oct. 17 as they head to West Virginia Tech for the first dual meet of the season.
