CARBONDALE, Ill.—University of Evansville sophomore Alon Baer (Gesher Haziv, Israel) made history on Friday, as he not only broke UE's school record in the 100-yard Breaststroke event, but he also achieved an NCAA 'B Cut' in the event at the 2022 Mid-American Conference Championships in Carbondale, Illinois.
Baer finished second in the event – one of two second-place finishes on the night for the Purple Aces – with a school-record time of 54.11. He had previously lowered the school record by 1.49 seconds in the 100 Breaststroke in the preliminary round early in the day.
