At the mid-season Zippy Invitational in Akron, Ohio, he broke a pair of NAIA National Records.
He won both the 100 backstroke (45.65) and 200 IM (1:46.48) at the meet in national records, in addition to wins in the 100 fly (45.93), 200 fly (1:45.36), and swimming on three winning relays.
In the 100 backstroke, he broke his own record that was a 46.12 done at last year’s NAIA National Championship meet by half-a-second. Before that, this was one of the oldest records on the NAIA books, having stood since 2014.

That time ranks him 26th among all divisions of college swimming in the United States.
In the 200 IM, he swam 1:46.48, which broke the old NAIA Record of 1:46.76 that was set by Keiser swimmer Alex Kusik in 2024. This isn’t an event he has swum very often in yards: he raced it at one tri meet in early November and one dual meet last season previously.
