Gunnar Zemering Breaks Own Rochester Record in 100 Freestyle at UAA Championships

From University of Rochester Athletics

Rochester's men finished with two NCAA provisional qualifying results and broke another school record on the final day of the University Athletic Association Swimming & Diving Championships at Emory University.

The Yellowjackets finished with 669 points and were seventh out of eight schools. Host Emory won the men's title.
 
Gunnar Zemering produced an NCAA provisional time and broke his own school record in the process. He finished in the top eight, again. Zemering was fourth in the 100 yard freestyle, timed in :45.13. That is almost a full second faster than the 100 free record –set by Zemering at the Liberty League championship meet on campus in December. He swam a :46.04 at the Liberty League meet to break the mark for the first time this season. Now, he's done it again.
 
Zemering's clocking surpassed the last time selected for the 2014 NCAA Championship Meet.
 
The other provisional qualifier was James Frauen. He was timed in 1:52.59  in the 200 yard backstroke where he finished in 10th place.
 
In Saturday's final session, Mitchell Gray was 20th overall in the 1,650 yard freestyle with a time of 17:01.22. Brian Wong finished 20th in the 200 yard butterfly, clocked in 1:55.64. That is 1.47 seconds behind his school record for the event.
