OCALA, Fla. -- The Barry Buccaneers dove into the pool for the first day of individual swims, on the second day of the SSC Championship Meet. The Bucs currently sit in seventh on the women's side with 40 points, while the men are in sixth with 86 points. Four new program records highlight the day for Barry.
The Buccaneers had strong performances in the 200 IM, with Evelin Zbiskó making the A-final and Diana Suprun competing in the B-final. On the men's side, both Milosz Mencel and Balazs Ament placed in the B-final. In the 1000 Free, Matthew McLean led the men, while Kate Rutledge and Kauri Parsons represented Barry in the women's event.Â
Qualifiers
The Buccaneers qualified three athletes with an NCAA Division II B-standard: Zbiskó swam 2:05.13 time in the women's 200 IM on the women's side, while freshman phenom Ament and the senior, Mencel recorded 1:49.60 and 1:49.85 respectively in the 200 IM event.
