During last year’s NCAA Swimming and Diving National Championships, senior Michael Lagieski was the top seed, and he raced a career-best 53.70 in the 100-yard breaststroke. But, when he looked up at the time board, the number next to his name was two—he got beat by three hundredths of a second.

With a record-breaking time, junior Reed Dalton became just the fifth Washington University swimmer to capture a national title by racing to first in the 100-yard butterfly.

Looking for their first conference championships in school history, the Washington University men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams travel to Atlanta, Ga., to compete in the University Athletic Association Championships from Wednesday through Saturday.

A week after both teams beat DePauw University on the road, the Washington University men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams recorded the same results at their home meet against the University of Chicago on Saturday.

Becoming the fourth men’s swimmer in school history to do so, freshman Michael Lagieski became a national champion by winning the men’s 100-yard breaststroke with a time of 54.10 on the third day of the 2014 NCAA Division III Swimming & Diving Championships in Indianapolis.
