Jeff Kaemmerlen won two events and broke two school records at the New York State Swimming Championships last weekend.  Kaemmerlen broke a 24-year old record in the 100-yard backstroke on Friday.  He placed fourth in a time of 53.17 seconds, breaking the mark set by former All-American Barry Zacharias in 1984.  Kaemmerlen took first place overall in the 50-yard freestyle, with a very fast time of 21.24 seconds on Thursday.  He just missed an NCAA "B" cut qualifying time by seven-hundredths of a second. Kaemmerlen continued his strong meet with a win in the 100-freestyle on Saturday in a time of 46.68 seconds.  The 400-yard medley relay team of Kaemmerlen, Steve Berus , Adam Luptak and Steve Rois completed the event in 3:35.04, breaking the school record of 3:35.91 set in 1991.
