COLUMBUS, GA. – The OUAZ men's swim program had its most successful trip to the NAIA National Championships ever, as two amazing athletes represented the Spirit in multiple events. The biggest highlight was Reuben Dobson, who finished as the national runner-up in the 200-yard Butterfly.
Dobson shaved nearly five seconds off his time between his preliminary time and final time. His time of 1:48.43 was less than two seconds behind the winner, Steven Aimable of St. Thomas.
