Austin Lashley ’18, an economics major from Kirkland, Wash., capped his Oxy swimming career with five school records, including a third-place finish in the 100 fly at the NCAA Division III Nationals in Indianapolis in March. Lashley won All-American honors in the event, an All-American Honorable Mention for a 15th-place finish in the 200 fly, and an Academic All-American Honorable Mention. Oxy went 6-2 against SCIAC competition to finish third in the conference—its best regular season mark since the late 1980s.
