MEN'S RECAP 
 
Rysavy continued his stellar weekend by posting three top-10 marks in program history and being part of two Relay Teams that notched top-10 times. 
 
The senior and Billings were the lone two individuals to qualify for Finals on Saturday morning. The pair placed ninth and 12^th overall in the 100 Fly Prelims. Rysavy touched the wall in 50.49, just .03 out of the A Final. Billings posted a season-best time of 50.85 to not only reach the Final but notch the third-fastest time in program history. 
 
In the Final on Saturday night, Rysavy shaved off 0.16 seconds off his time to win the B Final and finish ninth overall. His new PR kept him second all-time in the event and moved him closer to the program-record mark. Billings placed 13^th in the Finals with a final time of 50.79.
 
First year Sam LoCurto notched the ninth-fastest time in program history in the 100 Fly on Saturday morning. LoCurto closed in 52.73 to place 38^th. Junior Michael Spicer (53.23) and senior Ian Holmberg (54.74) finished 47^th and 59^th overall. 
 
Rysavy added a top-10 mark in program history in the 200 Free (ninth all-time). The senior just missed out on the Final as he placed 26^th overall with a new PR of 1:45.64. Senior Aidan Ringel touched the wall in 1:46.59 to place 30^th. Junior Zach Martin (1:02.76) barely edged LoCurto (1:47.95) with the duo placing 38^th and 40^th. 
 
First year Isaiah Frei led three Lewis & Clark swimmers in the 100 Backstroke. Frei placed 44^th with a mark of 56.14. Holmberg finished in 58.35 to place 49^th. Sophomore Aidan Beatty notched a time of 1:08.93 to finish 53^rd. Rysavy, who swam the event as an exhibition, finished in 53.27. His time moves him into fifth all-time in the event. His time would have put him in 28^th place. 
 
Billings added a top-10 all-time mark in the 100 Breaststroke. The junior finished 31^st overall with a time of 1:00.38. His season-best time moves him into sixth place all-time in program history. Senior Isaac Anderson also cracked the top-10 all-time in the event. Anderson posted the ninth-fastest time when he closed in 1:00.97 to finish 36^th overall. Martin finished in 1:02.76 to place 43^rd. Sophomore Colin Ziegler took 51^st place with a time of 1:07.85. 
 
Spicer led Lewis & Clark in the 400 IM. The junior touched the wall in 4:25.99 to place 32^nd overall. His time would be the seventh-best mark all-time, but his PR already has him sitting fifth. Anderson (4:34.62) and Isaiah Frei (4:39.38) finished back-to-back in 39^th and 40^th places. 
 
The men's team added top-six times all-time in both relays.

The Pioneers second group finished in 20^th. Frei, Ziegler, Holmberg and LoCurto combined for a time of 1:43.48. 
 
The Pioneers closed the night with their final top-10 mark. Lewis & Clark placed 12^th in the 800 Free Relay. Billings, Ringel, Martin and Rysavy posted a time of 7:05.94 to move into sixth place in program history. 
 
WOMEN'S RECAP 
 
Juniors Aniqah Gaffoor and Jane Tewinkel each posted big times to lead Lewis & Clark on Saturday. 
 
Gaffoor nearly became the first Pioneers woman to earn a spot in the Finals this weekend, in the second event of the day. She finished 25^th overall just 0.19 seconds out of the C Final. Gaffoor touched the wall in a season-best mark of 59.43. She improved her season PR by over two seconds and notched what would have been the seventh-best time in program history, if not for the fact she owns the program's best time in the event. Senior Josephine Mann placed 84^th overall with a time of 1:19.62. 
 
Tewinkel also posted a time that would rank top-10 if not for the fact she owns a top-10 mark already. The junior led six swimmers in the 100 Backstroke with a time of 1:02.08. She finished 48^th overall. Sophomore Angie Cummings came in just behind her in 51^st place (1:02.36). Junior Elise Barton took 65^th place with a mark of 1:04.77. First year Claire Hurty notched a time of 1:06.87 to place 77^th. Mann (1:24.43) and sophomore Ainsley Rios (1:28.18) finished back-to-back in 82^nd and 83^rd.
