As a sophomore, Crowder broke the 400 IM school record and finished among the top eight in all of the events he swam at Mets, repeating the feat he accomplished as a freshman. He was named to the All-New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) Team four times, was the team's leading point scorer on four occasions and also owns the school's 100 IM record (58.91, 1997-98 season), all while leading WP to three Metropolitan North Division regular-season championships (1996-98).
