The Carthage College men's swimming team (2-2 dual meet record) defeated Lake Forest College, 120-75, on Saturday, Nov. 5 at the Lake Forest Sports Center in Lake Forest, Ill. 

Seniors Ryan Ortmann (Woodstock, Ill./Woodstock) and Kyle Drake (Aurora, Ill./Waubonsie Valley) combined to give Carthage 36 of its 120 points by winning two events each.  Ortmann came out on top with a time of 24.59 in the 50 freestyle and again in the 100 freestyle with a time of 55.54.  Drake took his first-place finishes in both the 200 freestyle, with a time of 1:57.49, a Sports Center record, and in the 100-backstroke, with a time of 1:00.21.  Drake's time in the latter event just missed a pool record set by 2008 Olympic Silver Medalist Matt Grevers. 
 
Also with first-place finishes were Adam Glover (Sr., Eureka, Mo./Eureka) in the 800 freestyle at 9:12.29, Scott Reher (Fr., Elmhurst, Ill./York) in the 100 butterfly at 1:03.54, and Teryn Solun (Fr., St. John, Ind./Lake Central) in the 400 freestyle at 4:20.85.  Though not often swum, the Red Men also set four short-course records : Ortmann in the 50 freestyle (24.59), Drake in both the 100 backstroke (1:00.21) and the 200 freestyle (1:57.49), and Solun in the 400 freestyle (4:20.85).
