He swam a time of 8:55.70 in the 1000 free to earn a Casey Aquatic Center and a school record. His time stands as the second-fastest time in the country, only .08 seconds off the fastest.
His performance in the 500 free with a time of 4:19.97 earned him his second pool record of the meet, as well as another school record.
Mumma, a Harrisburg, Pa. native, won the women’s one-meter dive event in the Pack’s dual meet on Jan. 31. Her score of 332.32 earned her a Casey Aquatic Center and school record.
