Men's swimming in sixth place after first day of Big Ten championships
On Wednesday, the first day of the Big Ten swimming and diving championships, the Penn State men's swimming team set a school record in the 200-medley relay.
Going into Thursday the Lions sit in sixth place out of 10.
The team of Nate Savoy, James Wilson, Sean Grier and Shane Austin finished with a time of 1:25:38, good for a fourth place finish. The previous record was set last year at the Big Ten championships by a team featuring Grier and Austin.
The 200 Medley team also qualified for an NCAA "A" cut.
In the other race of the day, John Hauser, Nick Ankosko, Austin and Matt Salig finished eighth in the 800-freestyle relay.
