COLUMBIA, Ky. – The Lindsey Wilson men's swimming team capped a dominant weekend in the pool by winning the Dr. Dillery Fall Frenzy on Saturday at the Holloway Natatorium.

Sergio Ybarra captured three individual victories, with each meeting national standards. During the morning session, the junior won the 400-yard individual medley with a provisional mark of 4:05.35. Then, in the afternoon, Ybarra handily clinched an "A" standard in the 1,650-yard freestyle at 15:29.20. His time not only bested second place by 1:51.19, but also came just 1.65 seconds shy of his own school record in the event.

Ybarra closed his individual efforts with a provisional time of 1:53.33 to win the 200-yard butterfly by 15.71 seconds.

Dan Spinola swept the 100- and 200-yard breaststroke events, winning the shorter race in 59.04 seconds, just 0.28 off an NAIA provisional cut. In the 200-yard breaststroke, Spinola led a Lindsey Wilson sweep of the top four spots, followed by teammates Lewis Dickinson, Adam Lamhiti and Colin Maron.

In the 100-yard butterfly, Lav Putnik secured his first individual win of the season in 53.31 seconds, followed by Karem Amakye and Lamhiti in second and third, respectively.

Bruno Mendonca claimed his first victory of the weekend in the 100-yard backstroke, clocking a provisional-standard time of 52.05 seconds.

Lindsey Wilson showcased its depth in the relays, earning the top three spots in the 200-yard medley and 400-yard freestyle relays and the top two spots in the 800-yard freestyle relay.

Sirhaan Mia, Putnik, Mendonca and Spinola teamed up to win the 200-yard medley relay in 1:37.20. Ybarra, Dickinson, Ethan Butler and Akram Nejjar captured the 800-yard freestyle relay in 7:19.75, while Timo Berghuis, Maron, Putnik and Mendonca won the 400-yard freestyle relay in 3:15.56.
