Arizona Christian Takes Down Ottawa
Flagstaff, AZ – Arizona Christian men's swimming turned in more great performances as they won their second meet in a row with a 174-44 victory against OUAZ on Saturday afternoon at Northern Arizona University.
Freshman Kadin Van der Lingen broke the 100 Breaststroke record set by his teammate in the previous meet against SOKA with a time of 1:00.48. That time was also just short of the NAIA qualifying time of 59.84 for that event. It's the second school record that Van der Lingen has set so far.
