Co-captain Chris Berry<\/strong> (Augusta, Maine) had a big hand in an impressive first home meet for the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ swimming and diving teams against Bowdoin on Saturday.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ men finished the meet with another pool record performance in the 400 freestyle relay, as Berry and first-years Ned Scott<\/strong> (Maplewood, N.J.), Tom Boniface<\/strong> (Youngstown, Ohio) and Nathaniel Depew<\/strong> (Hudson, Ohio) touched the wall in 3:17.00. The previous mark of 3:17.86 had been established in 1993 by Wesleyan.<\/p>\n

Berry and teammates\u00a0also would have claimed the pool record in the 400 medley relay as well, although the Polar Bears touched the wall first to claim the mark for themselves with a 3:39.57 performance. Swimming in 3:40.05 for ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ were Berry, first-year Alex McKeown<\/strong> (South Windsor, Conn.), Scott and first-year Dan Aupi<\/strong> (Branford, Conn.). The previous mark of 3:39.57 was established by ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ alumni Eric Bowden, Adam Eggert, Nate Curll<\/strong> and Todd Bretl<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Berry also claimed first place in the 100-yard backstroke race, registering a time of 55.65 seconds.<\/p>\n

ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ will next compete this Saturday in a dual meet at Colby.<\/p>\n
