Continuing the strong showing by the senior class, Chris Hodges (Lincolnshire, Ill.-Stevenson) posted a pair of top-three finishes. Besides also taking second in the 100 Breaststroke, Hodges opened his afternoon with a convincing win in the 200 Breast.
In addition to a trio of first place finishes by Henry, Crompton, and Hodges, the Eagles added six top-three finishes to their day. Senior Krzysztof Gilski (Dywity, Poland-Adam Mickiewicz State Secondary) took third in the 100 Butterfly while juniors Kyle Aerne (Lake Villa, Ill.-Lakes Community) and Cole Bateman (Hutchinson, Minn.-Hutchinson) also turned in third-place finishes. Senior Erik Gissen (Karlstad, Sweden-Alvkullegymnasiet) posted a second place finish in the 200 Backstroke while freshman Jake Tyson (Ypsilanti, Mich.-Northgate) added a pair of second place finishes in the 100 Free and 200 Fly.
On the springboard junior Alex Chan (Toronto, Ontario-Neil McNeil Secondary School) continued his sensational season, posting a pair of 300+ scores to notch second and third place finishes in the diving events. Claiming third in the 3-meter event, Chan was beat out by Ohio State's Colin Zeng in the 1-meter. Scoring 365.40, Chan finished 1.43 points behind Zeng.
With the 203.5-96.5 loss, the Eagles drop to 2-1 in dual action this season. Next on the docket for the Green and White is a break from dual competion as the Eagles are set to host the EMU Invitational in Jones Natatorium, Dec. 4-5. Competition is set to begin at 3:30 p.m., Friday, Dec. 4.
