DAY 2 RECAP: Olivia Dower breaks school record; Seven Raptors with new PR

| By:
Olivia Dower beat her 100 butterfly time as three Raptors and the men's 200 free relay qualified for the evening finals to conclude Day 2 of the Liberty League Championships. 

Dower swam a qualifying time and a new school record of 1:03.82 and qualified for the "C" final. She finished 7th place in the evening finals with a time of 1:04.01. 

On the men's side, Hal Beatty and Freddy Coronel qualified for their respective individual events. Beatty competed in the "C" final of the 400 IM as he swam a qualifying and personal best time of 4:57.14. Beatty finished the evening final, beating his new personal best from this morning with a time of 4:53.45 and gave the Raptors three points. 

Freddy Coronel competed in the 100 fly and qualified with a time of 54.51. Coronel finished 8th in the "C" finals with a time of 54.57. 

The men's 200 free quartet of Owen O'Reilly, Nate Dower, Coronel and Beatty qualified for the "A" final and finished 8th with a time of 1:36.30, which gave the Raptors 49 points ahead of Hobart and 80 points ahead of St. Lawrence. 

"The meet is now at the halfway point and the team is swimming great," said head coach John Weitz. "Personal bests are popping like popcorn. It's just so much fun watching all the hard work paying off." 

The Raptors will be back tomorrow for the third day of the championship with the 400 IM, 100 fly, 200 free and 200 free relay.
