GENEVA, Ohio – Senior Clay Resweber added another medal to his haul at the Atlantic 10 Championships, this time taking home the gold in the 200 freestyle. He won silver in the 500 freestyle Thursday evening.

His time of 1:36.52 fell just one hundredth shy of the school record, moving him to second-best on the all-time performance list.

The 'Cats did break two school records, as freshman Sarah Helen Shepherd took 10th overall in the 400 IM with a school-best mark of 4:25.17, and senior Riley League broke the mark set last year by his classmate, Taylor Willenbring.
