BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Millsaps men's and women's swimming and diving programs continued to update the school's record books in a pair of meets on Friday and Saturday inside the Birmingham Crossplex.

A total of 10 records were bested over the weekend, including five by individuals and five relay marks. The Majors swam against host Birmingham-Southern (BCS) and DII opponent West Florida on Friday, while Berry added a fourth team to the mix on Saturday.

On Friday, freshman Anthony Werner helped set three school bests and nearly broke another. The Picayune, Miss., native swam the 200-yard freestyle in 1:52.07. He also teamed up with Breydon Conner, Cooper Clevenger and Casey Miller to swim the 200-yard freestyle relay in 1:50.13. Conner, Clevenger and Miller were then joined by Trevor Galicki to eclipse the 400-yard freestyle relay time in 3:43.55.    

Werner came 0.02 seconds off breaking his record set in the 100-yard freestyle, which he set on Jan. 15. The civil engineering major won the event in 50.51 on Friday.

In the women's competition, fellow freshman Ginny Ray Clevenger set the pace with three new marks. She improved both the 200-yard backstroke (2:19.50) and 200-yard butterfly (2:32.96). As a team, Clevenger swam with Anna Chris Nicholas, Ellie Pfaff and Madisyn Latino to surpass the 200-yard medley relay time (2:02.90).  

On Saturday, two more relay times fell. Conner, Werner, Cooper Clevenger and Miller swam the 400-yard medley relay in 4:09.40, while Nicholas, Pfaff, Ginny Ray Clevenger and Madisyn Latino swam the women's event in 4:31.22. The squad crushed the previous record of 4:49.00 set in Feb. 2020.

Additionally, Ginny Ray Clevenger swam the 400-yard IM in record-breaking fashion (5:14.76). Latino posted a win against Berry in the 100-yard freestyle (57.85), just 0.12 seconds off the top-program time.

There were several other strong performances on Saturday that fell within two seconds or less of the best school marks. Ginny Ray Clevenger in the 200-yard butterfly (Saturday time of 2:34.86), Latino in the 50-yard freestyle (26.93), Werner in the 50-yard freestyle (23.55) as well as Werner, Conner, Galicki and Cooper Clevenger (1:40.65) in the 200-yard freestyle relay.
