Boca Raton, Fla.- Four members of the Florida Atlantic University swim team lowered their seasonal best marks this past weekend at the Short Course National Championships held in Atlanta, Georgia.
Freshmen Mikolaj Czarnecki and Csaba Pek represented the men's team at the meet that featured some of the nation's best swimmers. Pek swam three seasonal bests with times of 1:51.43 in the 200 Yard IM and 3:53.83 in the 400 Yard IM prelims. Pek's 400 Yard IM prelim time placed 13th overall and advanced him to the final round.

Czarnecki also hit some of his best times of the season with a 49.97 in the 100 Butterfly and 1:47.40 timing in the 200 Yard Butterfly.
