From Washington University Athletics

The Washington University in St. Louis men's swimming team added four All-America finishes and two more school records on the second day of the 2014 NCAA Division III Swimming & Diving Championships Thursday at the IU Natatorium.

After two days at the four-day meet, the Washington U. men are tied for 12th with 56 points. Denison University sits in first in the men's standings with 282.

Sophomore Reed Dalton posted the best finish of the day for Washington U., placing fourth in the men's 100 butterfly for the second year in a row. Dalton clocked a season-best time of 48.37 to finish fourth in the event, just missing his own school record by .04 of a second. Dalton also teamed up with junior Matt Nutter, and freshmen Michael Lagieski and Justin Morrell to finish ninth in the men's 400-medley relay. The foursome broke the school record in the prelims, then shaved another .53 off the time in the finals to finish ninth and earn All-America honorable mention honors in 3:17.97.
