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, Clinton Eales earned the top seed for the finals by hitting the wall at 55.33 seconds in the 100 breaststroke. The swim by Eales bests a nine-year old school record set by Jonas Mueller in 2017.

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.

The Blue Raiders' last individual All-Conference performance of the day came from Lorenz Hof in the 200 freestyle. The freshman got back to the wall second at 1:39.81.

Lindsey Wilson's two relays of the day turned in respective runner-up finishes. First, the 200 medley team of Hof, Spinola, Sirhaan Mia, and Max van Schagen clocked in at 1:32.85. Then, Ybarra, Rivas, Hof, and Akram Nejjar logged an NAIA "A" standard of 6:51.76 in the 800 freestyle.

Day three of the Mid-South Conference championships opens at 10 a.m. CT on Saturday, February 7 with the last round of preliminary heats. The day includes the 200 backstroke, 100 freestyle, 200 breaststroke, 200 butterfly, 1,650 freestyle, and 400 freestyle relay.
