The Big Red moved to 2-0 in the young 2011-12 men's swimming and diving season following a 164-106 victory over Ohio Wesleyan on Saturday at Gregory Pool in Granville.

Denison won each of the first 11 events while posted four season-best performances. Senior Robert Barry improved upon his previous NCAA provisional time of 51.05 in the 100 backstroke with a time of 50.65.  Barry also swam on the winning 200 medley relay with Carlos Maciel, Mike Barczak and Quinn Bartlett.  The foursome posted a time of 1:36.18.

Gabe Dixson took first in the men's 3-meter dive with a six-dive score of 354.75 which is an NCAA qualifying performance and a new Denison school record.  Connor Dignan also nearly broke the previous school record of 298.00 held by Cody Smith with his score of 293.33.  Phil Meyer placed third with a score of 223.28.

Sophomore national record holder Al Weik notched a season-best in the 1000 freestyle with a time of 9:33.43 to win the event by nearly 40 seconds.  Sean Chabot placed first in the 200 free in 1:44.92 and first-year Ben Snader won the 100 breaststroke in 1:00.74.

Another season-best swim was racked up by All-American Jackson Humphrey in the 200 fly.  The sophomore won the 200 fly by four seconds with his time of 1:56.56.  In the sprint freestyle events Spencer Fronk won the 50 free in 22.04 seconds and Barczak took the 100 free in 47.43 which was also a season-best time.
