CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va - Day one of the Cavalier Invite proved to be a success for the Dragons, as each swimmer posted best times in their events.
In Friday morning's preliminary competition, teammates Stephen Brown, Ryan DeMott, and James Premo each saw best times. DeMott and Premo swam in the 500 free, Premo continued to the 100 free, and DeMott and Brown finished up with the 200 fly.

DeMott drop three seconds off his best 500 free, four seconds off his best 200 free, and three seconds off his best 200 fly.
