Collin Vu and Lauren Wheeler were two of several Austin College men's and women's swimmers who set new program bests on day two of the 2015 SCAC Championship Meet on Thursday, as both the men and women finished the day in fifth place for the championship.

On the women's side, Wheeler added another record to her resume, this time as the lead leg of the 200 freestyle relay. Wheeler's time of 24.64 sets a new 50 freestyle record for the 'Roos. She was joined by Caitlyn Brugger, Sarah Mann, and Simran Likhari for a sixth place finish in the event. Margaux McCartney took seventh place in the 1-meter diving event, while Sophie Anderson and Mann each set new personal bests in the 500 freestyle.
