Notes:
The Spartans' 9-0 start matches the school record to a start to a season, matching the 2006-07 Spartan squad that also started 9-0… the 2006-07 squad finished the dual meet season undefeated, York's only unbeaten dual meet team … York needs one more wins to tie the school record for a winning streak as the 2009-10 squad won ten straight after starting the season with a loss … senior Ian Kruper eared his fifth individual win of the year as he was victorious in the 100 butterfly … Nick Foltz earned his first individual victory of the year as he won the 1000 freestyle… the Spartans swam the 100 breaststroke and the 400 freestyle medley as exhibitions.
Up Next:
The Spartans turn around and head out on the road on Saturday as they trek to Frostburg State University for a Capital Athletic Conference meet in Frostburg, Maryland. The Spartans and Bobcats are set for a 1:00 pm start.
