For the second time in as many days, IUP swimmers Marek Malopolski and Luci Plaxton won individual events at the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference meet.

Malopolski was the winner in the 100 breast, breaking his own school record while also setting new conference and meet marks with a time of 56.65.  The previous PSAC records had stood since 1992.  Malopolski also won the 200 individual medley on Thursday.

After winning the 50 free the night before, Plaxton took first in the 100 back on Friday, touching in a time of 57.87.  That time was good for an NCAA A cut.

Bartosz Ostrowski gave IUP yet another winner on the second full day of the meet, breaking a school record in capturing the 200 free.  His mark of 1:40.98 broke the IUP record held by Ben Oshri since 2002.

Both IUP teams continue to hold down third place.  The men have 190 points, trailing West Chester (489) and Clarion (315).  The Golden Rams also lead on the women’s side with 748 points, ahead of Clarion (612) and IUP (370).

The four-day meet concludes on Saturday.
