Knox-Leonard sets NMU records

MARQUETTE – Ryan Knox-Leonard set Northern Michigan University pool and school records in the men’s 100-yard individual medley at the Wildcat intrasquad meet held Saturday at the PEIF pool.

The reigning GLIAC swimming and diving athlete of the week clocked in at 52.84 seconds to claim the record for a team in its first year back after a more than 30-year hiatus.

The Wildcats honored Marc Perello, Molly Kearney, Sophia Garris, Crystal Bennet and Sam Clemence as part of their Senior Day activities.

Perello won the men’s 50 breaststroke in 27.06 and 50 freestyle in 22.35 while Bennet won the women’s 100 breast in 1:08.53, 50 butterfly in 26.67 and 100 IM in 1:04.47.

Regan Kilburn and Knox-Leonard won the Skins trophy based on their performance in select events.

NMU returns to action Saturday at Wisconsin-Green Bay, then is off until Feb. 17-20 for the GLIAC Championships to be held in the Detroit suburb of Rochester.
