March Sets Meet and School Record On Day Two Of Invite

LANCASTER, Pa. – Day two of the Franklin and Marshall Invitational proved nothing but successful for the Frostburg State men's and women's swim teams, as the Bobcats broke two school records and one meet record.

Sophomore Christian March not only broke Frostburg State's school record in the 200 breaststroke, but also the meet record for the F&M Invite as he led the Bobcat men in the second day of competition. His winning time of 2:03.91 broke the previous school record of 2:07.23, set by March last February.

March's time of 2:03.91 currently stands as the fastest in Division III this season and is also an NCAA "B" cut and an ECAC "A" cut.
