Saturday College Swimming

St. Mary’s was in action. The Men had a dual meet against Hamline and the Women had a Quadrangular against Hamline, St. Kates and Augsberg. It was the last home meet for the Senior swimmers.

For Saint Mary’s University’s John Fox (Winona, Minn.) and Tom Walsh (Prior Lake, Minn.), the script could not have been written any better.

Fox and Walsh, swimming in their final home meet as Cardinals, each saved their best for last in leading the Cardinals to a 411-251 win over Hamline as part of Saturday’s SMU Quadrangular.

Fox picked up firsts in the 50 freestyle (23.08) and the 100 breaststroke (1:03.13), while also teaming with Walsh and two others to win the medley relay in a time of 3:54.60.

For his finale, Walsh also added a pool-record performance in the 800 freestyle relay, wit hhis team mates they posted a time of 7:59.68, while also adding seconds in the 1,650 freestyle (20:26.93) and the 100 butterfly (1:04.06).
