In addition, Vanderkaay set a personal record in the 100-yard freestyle (44.34) and was a member of five relay teams, including the first-place 800-yard freestyle relay squad that posted an NCAA automatic time of 6:24.88.
Vanderkaay earned a pair of Big Ten Swimmer of the Week awards as a freshman in 2002-03 and picked up four citations as a sophomore last season. He was also named the Big Ten co-Swimmer of the Year in 2004.
