Jordan Settumba finishing third at 1:34.20.
Wojciech Chalat wrote himself into the Quincy record books with a 16:34.35 swim in the 1650-yard freestyle. He snapped the record by nearly 30 seconds.
Kisasondi also had a stellar meet in Romeoville, posting a 21.06 split in the 200-yard medley relay, good for the second fastest 50 fly time in Division II. Kisasondi also tied for second place with fellow Hawk
Martiniano Montero in the 50 freestyle at 21.50. Kisasondi also got second place in the 100 butterfly at Lewis and swam a 50.91 time.
