Lansing Boy's Varsity senior All-American swimmer, Jake Sangren, set a new Section IV record in the 100 backstroke at Lansing's pool on January 15, 2008.  His new time of 52.14 gives him the following records:  Section IV record, IAC League record, Lansing school record, and Lansing pool record.   The record fell during Jake's last home swim meet of his career as a Lansing swimmer.  The previous Section IV 100 backstroke record time of 53.02 was set in 1994 by Chris Severson of Chenango Forks.  Jake also took first place in the 200 individual medley with a time of 2:02.83.  He was also part of the winning 200 medley relay team.

"What's really neat is that we now have 3 (of 11 swimming events) Section IV records as a team.  Adding Jake's backstroke to the 200 medley relay and Hans Roser's 100 breaststroke is pretty cool. All of the other records are held by the big schools.  It's nice to look through there and see Lansing among the greats from Horseheads and Ithaca."

The Lansing team went against Southern Cayuga and are still undefeated.  Lansing won 95-60.  Casey Hagin (sophomore) came in first place in both the 200 freestyle (2:02.92) and the 100 freestyle (53.86).   David Bandler (junior) took first place in the 50 freestyle (23.95) and recorded the fastest time in the 100 breaststroke (1:10.07).  Dan Ravas (junior) took first in the 100 butterfly (57.44).   Pat Rodgers (junior, co-captain) came in first place in the 500 freestyle (5:55.27).

In the 200 medley relay event, the team of Jake Sangren (backstroke), David Bandler (breaststroke), Dan Ravas (butterfly), Casey Hagin (freestyle), recorded a time of 1:43.79 for first place.  This has been this relay team's fastest time this season in this event.  The 200 freestyle relay team of Clement Towner (freshman), Ari Darlow (junior, co-captain), Pat Rodgers and David Bandler took first place with 1:42.52.
