OBU Gets Four Meet Records in Malibu

MALIBU, Calif. – Oklahoma Baptist established four meet records in the final day of the Malibu Invitational, hosted by Pepperdine University.
 
The records came a day after OBU had only one victory in the pool.

Goyetche won the 50 backstroke in 23.52 for a new meet record, the 100 free in a meet record 45.96 and won the 100 backstroke in 51.03 seconds.
