Gettysburg, Pa.- The Montclair State Swimming and Diving Team saw two records fall during their first day at the two-day Gettysburg Invite. The Red Hawks currently stand in third place out of five teams competing.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED

• The first record came from MICHAEL SALVATORI, who swam a 1:53.44 in the 200 IM. The record was the third-longest-standing individual record in program history and was held by Kevin Clauss, who held the record since February 19, 2016.
• The second record break came from the 200 medley team of LUCAS GOMES, MICHAEL WOJCIECHOWICZ, BOBBY FREECE, and PETER JARZAB. The quartet took down the longest-standing relay record in program history with a time of 1:24.83.
