EVANSVILLE, Ind.- University of Southern Indiana Men’s Swimming and Diving fell short in the crosstown battle on the campus of University of Evansville on Friday evening, 83.5-152.5. 

Highlighting the night was sophomore Nathan Deputy‘s monstrous performance in the three-meter dive event. The Evansville native continues to shine in the crosstown battle shattering the three-meter school record, scoring 278.33. Deputy broke his own record from the diving only meet against the Purple Aces last spring where he scored 271.88. Junior Lane Pollock delivered another consistent day off the one-meter dive board with a score of 264.38. 

Another huge moment came from junior Jack Hannon who’s been a Screaming Eagle for all three years of the programs existence. Hannon placed first in the 1000 freestyle (10:26.83) as the pool deck roared in support. 

Freshman Luke Rich continued to improve with a second place finish in the 200 freestyle (1:48.13), marking a personal best. Freshman Justin Knauf showcased a similar story, posting a personal best in the 200 IM (2:01.34). 

Freshman Jude Winnington earned another personal best in the 100 butterfly (53.27). Sophomore Sam Smith trailed right behind the freshman with a third place 100 butterfly finish (53.47).
