The LSU men’s swimming and diving team competed in the 200 medley, 100 fly and the three-meter springboard on day two of the NCAA Championships in Iowa CIty, Iowa at the University of Iowa Recreation and Wellness Center.
The 400 medley relay team of senior Frank Greeff, junior Alex Linge and sophomores Silas Dejean and Logan Rysemus finished with a time of 1:27.54, good enough for 23rd overall.
“I liked our effort today but unfortunately we didn’t put it all together,” LSU swimming coach Dave Geyer said. “Going into our final day we just have to focus and buckle down. I’m really looking forward to Frank’s last swim in college, the 200 fly.”
Senior diver Daniel Helm finished the day on three-meter with a final score was a 365.25 to finish 24th overall.
“My heart goes out for Daniel. He had a solid list on three-meter and wasn’t as sharp as he has been in the past,” LSU diving coach Doug Shaffer said. “He was diving with the intent of going to the finals but came up short. He is in a good spot going into tomorrow with his best event (platform). I look forward to his final event to wrap up his collegiate career.”
Greeff also placed in 30th on the 100 fly with a time of 46.79 to finish off day two of the NCAAs.
LSU returns to the pool tomorrow at 11 a.m. for prelims. Greff will compete the 100 fly while Helm will participate in the three-meter springboard. The relay team will compete in the 200 medley.
