NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The assault on the Bentley University men's swimming record book continued Friday as school records were broken six times during day two of the 2014 Northeast-10 Conference Swimming and Diving Championships at Southern Connecticut State's Hutchison Natatorium. That makes a total of eight school records already during the championships.

Leading the way was sophomore Owen Karl (Rochester, N.H./Brighton HS), who was involved in two school records being broken for the second straight day. He finished second in the finals of the 500 yard freestyle with his time of 4:40.73 improving on the school record of 4:43.16 he set while placing first in the prelims. Between the two races, he lowered the standard a total of 6.92 seconds.

Also in the 500, sophomore Kevin Diefenbach (Hamilton, N.J./Steinert HS) was eighth in 4:52.41 and freshman Davis Wilson (Ransom Canyon, Texas/Lubbock HS) won the "B" finals in 4:47.57, which was better than the school record at the start of the day.

Sophomore Sebastian Bury (Bellevue, Wash./Newport Sr. HS) began the day as Bentley's standard bearer in the 50 yard freestyle and also finished that way, but for about seven hours in between, the record belonged to senior Steve Sylvia (Westerly, R.I./Westerly HS).

Sylvia won the prelims in 21:30, improving on the mark Bury set last year by 0.26 seconds. Bury, who had been seventh in the morning session, regained it by the slimmest of margins by earning silver in the finals with a 21.29 second clocking. Sylvia came in sixth overall with his 21.50 also an improvement on the mark entering the championships.

However, Sylvia did leave the pool for the night with a new record. He anchored the Falcons' 400 medley relay team that placed fifth in 3:30.59, improving on a four-year-old record by 13 hundredths of a second. That relay also included senior Peter Belanger (Andover, Mass./Andover HS), junior Connor Mulvey-Hudson (Ardmore, Pa./St. Joseph's Prep) and sophomore Tim Connolly (Dorchester, Mass./Boston Latin Academy).

Connolly swam the opening leg, the 100 backstroke, in 52.76, a new school record. The former mark of 52.97 had stood since 2006.

In the other final contested Friday, sophomore Alex Liulakis (Tenafly, N.J./Tenafly HS) was sixth in the 200 individual medley with a time of 1:57.90, less than a half second of the school record.

Bentley finished the day with 269.5 points, good for second in the seven-team field and 77.5 behind first-place Southern Connecticut State.
