Senior Jason McLachlan (Arvada, CO) closed out his UB career in impressive fashion. McLachlan set three school records in three consecutive nights for the Bulls to earn First Team All-MAC honors.

McLachlan opened the meet by breaking Ray Willie's 10-year old mark in the 500 freestyle. McLachlan finished second in the finals in 4:31.47 breaking Willie's record by eight-hundreths of a second.

On Friday, McLachlan broke his own mark in the 400 individual medley. McLachlan finished second in 3:57.87, snapping his old mark by nearly four seconds and becoming the first Bull to swim the event in under four minutes. Miami's John Carroll won the race in a MAC record 3:51.85.

Saturday, McLachlan broke the 200 backstroke record twice. In the morning preliminaries, he turned in a 1:49.07, breaking Korry Miller's 1997 record by a quarter second. In the finals, McLachlan bettered his earlier time with a 1:48.70 showing again finishing second in the race. Senior Eric Stimson (North Tonawanda, NY) placed 16th in the event in 1:59.76.

The 800 free relay team of McLachlan, Tony Lizauckas (Kenmore, NY), Kotowski and Pun placed sixth in 6:56.95 and Tatum, Lizauckas, Pun and Kotowski combined for a seventh place effort in the 200 free relay in 1:25.47.
