After setting the NCAA Division II record in the 200 medley relay (twice) on Wednesday, Queens University of Charlotte repeated the exercise on Thursday in the 400 medley relay. The Royals had last broken the D2 record at NCAAs in 2015 with 3:08.07.
Queens’ 100 fly champion, junior Paul Pijulet, got the Royals off to a strong start, splitting 46.68 on the lead-off leg. Rostyslav Fedyna went 52.20 on the breast and put Queens up by a body length. Sophomore Marius Kusch, runner-up to Pijulet in the fly earlier in the evening, clocked a 45.55 to give the Royals a three body length lead. 200 free champion, senior Dion Dreesens, anchored with 42.95 to win by 4.5 seconds over the rest of the field. Queens stopped the clock at 3:07.38, lowering the national mark by .69.
