One of the Lions’ most versatile swimmers of all time, he holds top-ten times in six events: the 200 IM (1:52.66; ninth), 400 IM (3:55.63; third), 200 Fly (1:50.07; third), 1650 Free (15:39.13; seventh), 1000 Free (9:26.17; ninth) and 200 Back (1:50.67; eighth). Winner of the Outstanding First-Year award in 2006, Cedric has been a consistent point-scorer at both the dual and championship meet levels. Coming off of a tremendous 2007-2008 year in which he set three personal best times in taking fifth (3:55.63), ninth (1:50.07) and tenth (1:50.45) respectively in the 400 IM, 200 Butterfly and 200 Backstroke at the EISL Championships, the Lions expect nothing less from his final season.
