In a meet that gave the Bears five conference titles, eight new school records and 54 B-cut times, the Washington University swimming-and-diving teams each posted top-four finishes at the University Athletic Association Championships from Wednesday through Saturday in Atlanta.

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.

From Wednesday through Saturday, the Washington University men’s and women’s swimming teams competed in the 2012 NCAA Division III Swimming and Diving Championship, the final meet of the season. The Bears’ hard work and determination paid off as Wash. U. competed well in Indianapolis, Ind., bringing home several All-America honors and personal and season-best times.
