NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ -- In February, the NJIT Men's and Women's Swimming took to the pool for their last meet of the season at the Metropolitan Swimming Conference Championships at Rutgers University, New Brunswick.

Freshman Shawn Bryan led the way with school record breaking swims in the 100 Freestyle (0:48.00) and 200 Freestyle (1:48.95). The records were previously held by Hyak Ekshian and Marc Ubaldi, respectfully. Architecture major Bryan successfully completed his freshman year at NJIT with a total of three schools records, the 100 Free, 200 Free, and 500 Free broken previously in January.

The meet also saw many personal season bests for the Highlanders with both sophomore Matthew Negron (0:52.97) and freshman Jonathan Van Ostenbridge (0:53.11) receiving their best times in the 100 Freestyle. Bryan swam his personal best in the 50 style as well (0:22.27). Sophomore Chris Early swam his personal best in the 100 Breaststroke with a time of 1:10.90.

On the women's side, sophomore Rachael Abadie and senior Teresa Higgins both broke school records at the meet. Abadie broke the 100 Freestyle record with a 0:56.35 swim. Higgins swam the grueling 1650 Freestyle in 18:30.04, beating a previously unrecorded mark.

Both Higgins and Abadie swam on the 800 Freestyle Relay with junior Kelsey Johnson and junior Sadie Mele, setting a new mark at 9:01.08, breaking the old record by a remarkable 47 seconds!
