Herrick won two events, the 100 and 200 butterfly, at the New England
Championships, and placed second in the 200 freestyle, breaking Colby records
in all three. His time of 1:52.32 in the 200 butterfly also set a new New
England meet record.
Senior co-captain Peter Bowden placed fourth in the 100 backstroke with a new
Colby record of 53.08. Sophomore Jeff McCloskey placed sixth in the 100
backstroke and fourth in the 200 backstroke and set a new Colby record of

nationals.
At the national meet, the men set two more school records in the 200 and 800
freestyle relays, earned two All-America honors and five honorable mention
All-America awards. Herrick was named All-American in both the 100 and 200
