SAINT CHARLES – Freshman Daniel Hein didn't think there was any way he could top his program record-setting time of 50.97 in the 100-yard butterfly at the conference meet two weeks ago.

That assumption was as far from the truth as the chasm between the DeKalb-Sycamore co-op swimmer and his nearest competitor in the 100 butterfly at Saturday's St. Charles East Sectional.

Hein annihilated his record with a time of 49.70, winning the race by over one second. Four other swimmers swam under the qualifying time of 52.87 in the 100 butterfly, making the race the most competitive of the day.
