The Shippensburg University men's swimming team finished the 2026 Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Championships on Saturday in sixth place as the meet concluded at the Graham Aquatic Center in York.
 
Ezekiel Eberly made it two straight days with an all-time swim in the backstroke. His enormous PR of 1:52.41 in the 200-yard backstroke, achieved during prelims, ranks him third in school history for the event. He finished 13th overall, completing the consolation 'B' final with a time of 1:53.45.
 
Joe Herman joined Eberly in the consolation final of the 200-yard backstroke, posting a collegiate-best time of 1:57.65 that resulted in 16th place.
 
Robbie Ferlick snuck into the 'B' final of the 100-yard freestyle and improved by one place during the evening session despite swimming the exact same time in both prelims and finals (46.90 seconds). His 15th-place finish is his first career scoring effort in the 100 free.
 
Ian Deck capped off an excellent debut PSAC meet with another distance freestyle PR. He completed the 1,650-yard freestyle in 16:42.17, which was good enough for 14th place.
 
Kiran George delivered a PR in the 200-yard breaststroke of 2:14.97.
 
Mason Koeth, Ferlick, Josh Wall and Connor Ludwig completed the 400-yard freestyle relay in a fifth-place time of 3:05.47 to wrap up the meet.
 
Significant from that swim is Koeth's leadoff leg that featured a split of 46.14 seconds. Due to the swim starting from the blocks, it is eligible to be extrapolated for records – and it goes down as a new PR for Koeth that moves him up one spot to fourth on SU's all-time list in the event.
 
Prior to the beginning of the evening finals sessions, the senior swimmers were recognized from each team. SU's contingent includes Carter Hawkes, Kevin Noldy and Nate Wauls.
