Swim: Potomac Falls Grad Matt McLean Captures NCAA 500 Freestyle Title

(Mar. 29, 2011) - University of Virginia senior Matt McLean, a graduate of Potomac Falls High School, won his first career NCAA Championship last week in the 500 freestyle. He was first in a time of 4:10.15, ahead of Stanford's Bobby Bollier (4:13.94) and defending champion Conor Dwyer of Florida (4:13.98).

It is the fourth NCAA championship for the Virginia men's swimming program. Ed Moses was the last to win an individual title, claiming both the 100 breaststroke and 200 breaststroke events in 2000.
