SPRINGFIELD – The Missouri State swimming and diving programs wins were highlighted by standout performances by Dylan Moffatt in the 1,000 freestyle and A.J. Huskey in the 400 IM on Saturday morning at Hammons Student Center. The men defeated Missouri S&T, 211.5-102.5 while the women defeated Indiana State, 221-132.
 
Moffatt dominated the men's 1,000 freestyle, winning with a pool record-breaking performance of 9:06.91. The time was the 25th-fastest among all collegiate swimmers this season. 
 
"It was great to set a pool record today," Moffatt reflected. "It is always nice to break a pool record at home, especially on senior day. I thought everyone performed very well and I executed my race very well. I am excited for what is to come."
 
Huskey won the 400 IM with a time of 3:58.05, which was the 43rd-fastest time nationally this season.

I could not be happier with that and it is a good sign going into the rest of the season."
