Junior Josh Schneider had high expectations for his team going into the Big East meet this week in Indianapolis. He thought they could finish third, and he felt good about his own chances. He was right on both. The team is sitting in fourth place with two days of competition left and Schneider himself won the men's 50 meter free style event Thursday night. In the preliminaries earlier in the day he set a school record, then backed it up that evening by just edging out the second place swimmer from Louisville by four tenths of a second. The junior from Taylor High School won the same event last year. This qualifies him for the NCAA meet, and his time of 19.38 is the third fastest in college swimming this year. The men are currently 4th and the women sit in 8th. Both have a great opportunity to improve on those places. Bearcat Sports Page.com has a crew at the meet and will have video early next week.
