Men's Swimming Concludes Day One of the First Chance Meet

DENVER, Colo. – The Air Force Academy men's swimming team concluded day one of the First Chance Meet Friday evening, Feb. 12, at the El Pomar Natatorium on the campus of the University of Denver.

The Falcons competed in six events on the day, the 400 IM, 200 free, 100 back, 100 breast, 200 fly, and 50 free.

In the 400 IM, freshmen Joseph Moore and Chris Lindley swam season-best times. In the 200 free, sophomore and reigning WAC Freshman of the Year Wen Zhang made his season debut, and did not miss a beat, clocking in with a steady 1:36.14. The time marks the best in the WAC this season.
