ST. GEORGE, UT. --- A week in Utah has come to a close for the California Baptist swim team, as Saturday concluded the Utah Tech Invitational. Highlighted by a new program record on the final day of competition, the Lancers return to California after another successful week in the pool.
Junior Eli Rollen provided a highlight moment for the Lancers on Saturday. Rollen posted a time of 1:43.61 in the 200-yard backstroke, establishing a new program record in the event. Rollen won the event in a photo finish, claiming the win by less than 0.2 seconds. He added a second victory in the 400-yard IM (3:53.12).
Rollen also added a strong showing in the 800-yard freestyle relay, as the Lancers placed second in the event. Rollen was joined by Holden Short, Mark Kovacsics, and Justin Welch. Rollen also placed second individually in the 200-yard IM.
Another second-place finish came in the 200-yard medley relay, with the CBU team consisting of Benjamin Madson, Ian Mullen, Tyler Mansheim, and Jacob Smith. The same relay team combined for a second-place finish in the 200-yard freestyle relay. Individually, Mansheim and Madson tied for fourth in the 50-yard freestyle (20.41). Mansheim also placed second in the 100-yard butterfly.
Kovacsics continued his strong start to the season with a victory in the 500-yard freestyle (4:23.09). He was also the runner-up behind Rollen in the 400-yard IM.
