MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – Freshman Frank Dyer swam the 100 free Saturday during the final day of the NCAA Men’s Swimming and Diving Championships at the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center, the freestyler’s third race in as many days at the national event.

Dyer, who one day earlier recorded the program’s highest finish at the NCAAs with a 26th-place showing in the 200 free, tapped in at 44.05 during the preliminary race of the 100 free during the morning session. His effort was good for 40th overall.

The BIG EAST Conference champion in the 500 free swam the same event at the NCAAs, along with the 100 and 200 free. Dyer is just the second Notre Dame swimmer – and first freshman – ever to compete in the NCAA Championships.
