BRUNSWICK, Maine - The Bowdoin College men's and women's swimming and diving teams hosted a non-scoring meet against Division I Maine-Orono on Saturday at Greason Pool.
The Polar Bears posted several impressive performances, led by a pair of record-breaking performances by Nathan Mecray.
The senior set a new pool and school record with a time of 25.99 in winning the 50 yard breaststroke and also established a new school record in claiming the 100 yard individual medley with a time of 53.39. Mecray's already owned both school records, but his 50 breaststroke time trimmed by more than six-tenths of a second off the previous facility mark established in 1995. In addition, Mecray also won the 100 breaststroke (57.65) in Saturday's action.
