Sophomore Dan Shevchik swam three individual events last weekend at Eastern Championships.

He won them all.

Shevchik amassed 96 points, finishing first in the 200-yard individual medley, 200-yard backstroke, and the 400 IM against Army, Navy, and Ivy League opponents. His superlative effort contributed to Crimson's sixth-straight championship.

"The most outstanding swim [of the meet] was Dan Shevchik's 400 IM," said freshman John Cole. "That swim is really fast and will put him up against the best swimmers in the country at NCAAs, including Olympic silver medalist Erik Vendt."

Shevchik's time in the 400 IM automatically qualified him for NCAAs and replaced the school record of 3:48.34 set by Tom Peterson '92 in his senior year. Shevchik and Cole also received the Moriarity Award for the most points scored during the entire competition.

Shevchik even beat his times from the same meet last year. At the 2000 EISL championship, Shevchik won the 400 IM and 200 backstroke and placed second in the 200 IM. In addition to winning all three of those events this year, each of Shevchik's swims at finals was faster than in 2000, including a three and a half second improvement in his 400 IM time.

Shevchik has been a great asset to the Crimson in his sophomore season. He and senior Mike Im paired up to dominate the Eastern conference in the backstroke events this year.

The 5'9 sophomore won both the 100 and 200 backstrokes at Brown Jan. 27 and placed second in the 200 backstroke at the HYP meet Feb. 4.
