Chicago Tops Lewis, Falls to Olivet Nazarene

From University of Chicago Athletics

Back in the pool for the first time in nearly two months, the University of Chicago men's swimming and diving teams split a home tri-meet with Lewis University and Olivet Nazarene University on Friday.

The Maroon men topped Lewis 157-122 and lost to Olivet Nazarene 154-133, winning six events.

Junior diver Dean Boures was a multi-winner in the men's one-meter dive (269.48) and three-meter dive (272.40). 

Freshman Taye Baldinazzo provided one of the night's biggest highlights when he broke the school record in the 1,000-yard freestyle. His winning time of 9:33.55 beat out the runner-up by more than 10 seconds.
