THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – Cal Lutheran men's swimming and diving (0-2, 0-2 SCIAC) competed at a high level at the Caltech Invite over the weekend, finishing second of four SCIAC teams with 828.5 points. Five Kingsmen recorded marks that made the program all-time top-10 list.

A couple events later, Andreas Nordlund tied for the 6th-best time in program history in the 50y freestyle at 21.04 to win the event for the Kingsmen.

An additional trio of freshmen added their names to the top-10 list. Gabe Benitez now appears two more times after logging the 8th-lowest time in the 1,650y freestyle (16:53.02) and the 10th-lowest time in the 500y freestyle (4:50.99). Connor Overton swam the 9th-best time in Cal Lutheran history in the 100y backstroke at 53.74. Kylee Lee joined the party with the 10th-lowest time in program history at 2:08.99.
