CARBONDALE, Ill. – The University of Evansville swimming and diving teams wrapped up competition in the A3 Performance Invitational hosted by Southern Illinois in record fashion on Saturday, as the Purple Aces broke three school records en route to a second-place finish on both the men's and women's sides.
Sophomore Jackson Caudill (Mount Sterling, Ky./Montgomery County) made history in both the 1,000- and 1,650-yard freestyle record books with a single swim, as he broke both school records on the afternoon. Caudill's 1,000-yard split of 9:35.58 lowered his own school-record in the distance, while he became the first Purple Ace to go below 16 minutes in the mile swim with a mark of 15:57.
