BUFFALO, N.Y. – Cortland freshman Reeve Callen (Oswego) won the 200-yard freestyle and swam the anchor leg on the winning 800-yard freestyle relay team that set a school record during the second day of competition at the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) Men's Swimming and Diving Championships.

Cortland still holds the team lead with one day remaining. The Red Dragons have 519 points, followed by 14-time defending champion Geneseo with 476. The Knights gained 10 points on Cortland during the second day of action. Oneonta is third in the nine-team field with 380, followed by Fredonia with 264. The championship is being held at the Burt Flickinger Center at Erie Community College.

Callen recorded a time of 1:42.13 to win the 200-yard freestyle. To end the evening, the quartet of senior Judd Simon (Oneida), junior Mark Hanifin (Fort Plain), freshman Andrew Cremer (Blue Point/Bayport-Blue Point) and Callen posted a school-record time of 6:55.77 to win the 800-yard freestyle relay. They broke the old record of 6:56.75 set by Drew Hilker, Caleb VanSickle, Jeff Moessinger and Dan Evans in 2009.

Simon recorded one individual and two relay school records Friday. In addition to his role in the 800-yard freestyle relay, Simon broke the 100-yard backstroke record with his third-place time of 51.98 seconds and swam the opening leg on the second-place 200-yard medley relay that finished in a school-best 1:33.27.

Senior Ben Strickland (Stanfordville/HomeSchool), junior Brandon McManus (Pittsford/Pittsford-Mendon) and senior Dan Maximowicz (Chenango Forks) were the other swimmers in that relay, which broke the previous record of 1:33.98 set last year by Strickland, Danny Salvatore, Dylan Scheemaker and Maximowicz.

Cremer finished third in the 200-yard freestyle (1:43.32) and freshman Jack Jakubek (Monroe/Monroe-Woodbury) placed third in the 100-yard breaststroke (58.43).
