Competing at the Division III Men’s Swimming & Diving Championships for the first time, Hall - the Kingmen’s lone representative in Greensboro, N.C. - ended his storybook Cal Lu career as an All-American. The Camarillo High School grad finished fourth in the nation in the 100-yard breaststroke, clocking a time of 53.87 in the finals (he also finished 12th in the 200 breast). SCIAC Coach of the Year Barry Schriefels gushed about the two-sport star, noting how the water polo standout improved every year as a competitive swimmer. “You get swimmers who are big stars and they make it there right away. With Lincoln, it took four years to get to this level,” Schriefels said before nationals. “He just kept working and working ... and the results followed ... that’s spectacular.”
