CHICAGO - The Milwaukee men's swim and dive program broke a school record and two separate pool records at the UIC Triangular Saturday morning, paced by the likes of Gunnar Seversen once again.

The Woodbury, Minn. native continued to thrive early on in the season, shattering a school record in the 1000 freestyle with a time of 9:07.76 to take first place. Seversen surpassed Nic Halverson's time of 9:17.40 from 2015 to etch his name in the record book. The junior now owns five individual school records. 

Seversen followed it up with a time of 4:26.72 in the 500 freestyle, good for a pool record at the Flames Natatorium. He went on to win the event by nearly eight seconds. 

Sam Lorenz got off to a quality start in Chicago, shattering a pool record in the 200 breaststroke with a time of 1:42.53. The Mequon, Wis. native earned gold by a large margin, securing first by over seven seconds. 

To round out the top performers, Charlie House tallied a pair of second-place finishes in the 100 and 200 freestyle. The senior improved on his 100 freestyle mark from a couple of weeks ago at the Wisconsin Showcase, dropping his time to 44.55 seconds. 

"Without sacrificing the training, we were able to line up this week to have a good day, and a good day we had," head coach Kyle Clements said. "The vast majority of all swims were season best times, with a good number of personal bests mixed in as well. We also were able to break two pool records, and a school record in the process."

As a team, Milwaukee earned a 120-120 tie against UIC, while falling to IU Indy, 87-153.

The 200 freestyle relay was the final event to notch a first-place finish, as the unit of House, Aleks Piljevic, Evan Cornoiu and Seversen emerged victorious with a time of 1:21.78. 

The Panthers will be back in action next week, returning to Illinois to take on Wheaton College Friday, Nov. 6. The competition is set to get underway at 5:00 p.m. CT.

"Not having a lot of meets and data points, I was getting a little concerned about where we were at this point when it comes to racing, but after leaving UIC today we now know that we are right on track, and maybe a little ahead," Clements said.
