Jones also competed in the 200-yard butterfly, but he was disqualified due to a stroke violation. Meyer had a solid showing at his first NCAA meet, making waves in both the 500-yard freestyle and the 1650-yard freestyle. The Ithaca, N.Y. native recorded a time of 4:24.38 in the 500-yard freestyle, earning 44th place in the event. Meyer also finished 25th...
