and junior Alex Meyer

are headed to the 2009 NCAA Men's Swimming and Diving Championships, to
be held March 26-28 at Texas A&M's Student Rec Center Natatorium in
College Station, Texas.
Jones has been chosen to compete in the 100 and 200 butterfly events for
the second straight season. In 2008, Jones placed 23rd in the
preliminaries of the 100 fly with a mark of 47.35 and finished 25th in
the 200 fly, touching the wall in 1:46.12.
Earlier this month, Jones, a senior from Fremont, Mich., was tabbed to
the All-Ivy League first team after helping the Crimson win the 200
medley relay in a time of 1:27.61 at the Ivy League Championships at
Princeton. He earned three Ivy second-team accolades after finishing
second in the 100 butterfly in 46.12, surpassing the previous Ivy League
record in the race. He also garnered second-team distinction in the 800
freestyle relay (6:30.96) and the 400 medley relay (3:12.30).
Meyer, making his first appearance at the NCAA meet, qualified in the
1,650 freestyle after winning the event at the Ivy League Championships
with a time of 15:01.18, good for a new DeNunzio Pool record. Meyer, a
two-time All-Ivy first-team honoree this season, also claimed the 1,000
free at the Ivy Championships with a new meet record of 8:57.28.
The 100 butterfly event at the NCAA Championships is scheduled for
Friday, March 27, while the 200 butterfly and 1,650 freestyle races are
slated for Saturday, March 28.
