After breaking his own NCAA Division III record in the 400 yard individual medley in morning preliminaries, UMW senior Alex Anderson broke it again on Thursday night in the finals, placing second with a time of 3:47.25, more than a second faster than his winning time from a year ago.

Anderson broke out strong, leading after the butterfly and backstroke, but was caught by Harrison Curley of Kenyon in the breaststroke, and nearly came back during the freestyle.

The second second place finish in as many days, swimming the second-fastest time in Division III history, earns Anderson his second All-America honor of the meet. He will swim the 200 yard butterfly on Friday.
