DANVILLE, Ky. - A pair of school records highlighted Lindsey Wilson men's swimming's performance on day two of the Mid-South Conference championships at Centre College on Friday.
When the waves settled, the Blue Raiders remain in second place overall behind Cumberlands (Ky.).
During the preliminary session in the morning,

Eales went on to place second in the finals, while teammate
Dan Spinola earned All-Conference honors in third place. It is each of the pair's second top-three finish in the event in their careers.
In the 400 individual medley,
Sergio Ybarra led a strong showing of Blue Raiders by taking second place at 3:58.95. His performance not only earned him a second career All-Conference medal in the event but topped his own school record by half a second.
Oliver Greaves -- 4:05.87, --
Ethan Butler -- 4:06.33, -- and
Jose Rivas -- 4:17.37 -- rounded out Lindsey Wilson's 400 individual medley by placing third through fifth, in that order.
