The Lansing Varsity Boys' Swim Team recorded another win against Watkins Glen on January 10, 2008.  The score was 96-74.  The team's All-American Senior swimmer and co-captain, Jake Sangren, set two new Lansing pool records and qualified for the state meet in another event.  In the 200 individual medley, Jake set a new pool record with the time of 2:02.62; this was the 5th individual event that he has qualified for the state meet.  In the 100 backstroke, Jake eclipsed his own Lansing pool record (53.78 in 2006) with a time of 53.24.  He also holds the school record which is 53.22.  Jake set this time at the state meet on 3/1/07.

In other events, the Lansing swimmers continue to record first place finishes and better their times.  In the 50 freestyle, 1 or 2 hundredths of a second has been the deciding difference.  Dave Bandler recorded a time of 23.71 for first place and Dan Ravas recorded a time of 23.72 for second place in this event.  The two swimmers then traded place finishes again in the 100 butterfly.  Dan Ravas placed first (59.76) and Dave Bandler placed second (1:03.53).

In the 100 freestyle, Casey Hagin (sophomore) recorded a first place finish with 54.30.  His teammates followed with second and third place finishes.  They were Clement Towner (55.17) and Ari Darlow (co-captain - 55.68).  Although he swam exhibition, Max Mackenzie (junior) recorded the fastest time in the 100 breaststroke; his time was 1:14.99.  Pat Rodgers (co-captain) placed first in the 500 freestyle (6:00.05); Clement Towner was first in the 200 freestyle (2:06.06).

The team's 200 medley relay team (Jake Sangren, Dave Bandler, Dan Ravas, Casey Hagin) continues to improve its time and placed first with 1:44.48.  Lansing's divers are also working hard – Josh Tull (freshman) had 125.92 pts. (1st place) and Mike Coles (sophomore) had 102.67 pts. (2nd place).
