COLUMBUS, Ga. – The Loyola men's and women's swim teams completed the NAIA National Championships on Saturday, as two more school records were broken and another All-American was honored. As a team, the men took 13th place out of 22 teams while the women finished 16th out of 31. 
 

Tate Bladon and Harvey Quiddington each broke their own school records on Saturday, swimming in the 100-yard freestyle and 200-yard breaststroke, respectively. Bladon started the day with a 45.30 swim in his preliminary race, then his 44.62 in the evening finals was good enough for a school record and a third-place finish to earn All-Amerca honors. Quiddington placed 12th in the 200-yard breaststroke, breaking his own school record by slightly more than a second. 
 

Mya Baker and Emily Cooper also both competed during the final day of the national championship. Baker placed 10th in the 1,650-yard freestyle with a time of 17:48.21, eight seconds shy of the school record, and Cooper earned a new personal-best time in the 200-yard backstroke with a time of 2:11.58 to place 24th.
