Divers shine, but Saints men's swim team fall to Nazareth

Posted

The trio of St. Lawrence divers swept Nazareth in both the one and three-meter events, but the Saints men's swim and dive team fell to the Golden Flyers 169-127 on Saturday in the Augsbury Pool. The Saints will now turn their attention to preparing for the Liberty League Tournament, which will take place in Rochester beginning on Dec. 5.

James Wilczewski, Alex Blake and William Moran finished one-two-three in both diving events, with scores of 250.12, 233.35 and 206.02 on the one meter board and 285.75, 242.77 and 176.05 on the three meter, respectively. The trio combined to earn 32 points for the Saints on the day.

In the pool, St. Lawrence saw Henry McCormick and Grant Fisher both earn a pair of individual victories. Both of McCormick's wins came in breaststroke events, as he narrowly edged Nazareth's Ibe Stungurys by 38 hundredths of a second at the 100 yard distance in (1:06.20) and then captured the 200 race in 2:28.30.

Fisher, a first-year for St. Lawrence, won both distance freestyle events against the Golden Flyers. He touched the wall nearly two seconds ahead of the second-place Naz swimmer in the 500 with a time of 5:05.66, before swimming to a six-second margin of victory in the 1000 (10:31.33).

Meanwhile, senior Kirby Kaylor grabbed one of the sprint free events, claiming victory in the 50 with a time of 23.45.
