Men’s 800 freestyle relay

SCAD led wire-to-wire this time, with the team of Zoltan Monori, DJ Nowacki, Kristof Monori and Joel Thatcher winning in 6:33.05. It sets a meet record, downing the record the Bees set in 2014 (6:34.98). Thatcher did a great deal of that work, blasting a 1:35.03 anchor leg. Second again was Keiser, with Lindsey Wilson (Kent.) in third.
