ANNAPOLIS, Md. – The Army West Point men's swimming and diving team took down a pair of Academy records and picked up 133 points on the first day of the College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) National Invitational at Lejeune Hall.

ARMY NOTABLES

Tom Ottman was the first Cadet to break an Academy record at the meet after he hit the wall at 4:20.66 in the 500 free for a second-place finish. The record was previously set by Ottman at the Patriot League Championships two weeks ago.
It was then Peter Mikheyev's turn to get into the water and he showed out in the 200 IM. The sophomore won the event with a time of 1:45.48, breaking the Academy record that he set at this year's league championships.
Brian McKenrick also scored for Army in the 200 IM, placing seventh after posting a time of 1:50.71.
In the 50 free, Josh Zock (20.78) and Billy Webber (20.12) finished third and eighth, respectively, scoring for the Black Knights in the B-Final.
The squad of Webber, Zock, McKenrick and Sean Martin placed seventh in the 200 free relay at 1:22.44.
Army wrapped up the meet with an eighth-place showing in the 400 medley relay once the foursome of McKenrick, Mikheyev, Kevin Doo and Martin finished with a time of 3:18.43.
