Knights swim team members Parnett and Rowe produce at Kumpf Invitational

Posted

Troy, NY - Junior Sean Parnett (Clifton Park, NY) and senior Mike Rowe (Glenville, NY) each posted two top-10 finishes to lead the Clarkson University Men's Swimming team at Saturday afternoon's annual Kumpf Invitational held on the campus of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

The Golden Knights finished sixth among the eight participating teams with 153 points. Ithaca won the meet (676) and was followed by Rensselaer (495), Cortland State (484), Oneonta State (229), Vassar (181), Clarkson, Skidmore (96), and Cobleskill (3). Clarkson's men's and women's swim teams will compete at home next Friday against Potsdam State.

The Golden Knights were greeted with some unhospitable weather following their return from Key West, FL at the Kumpf Invitational, but Parnett and Rowe showed little ill effect. Parnett placed sixth in the 1000 freestyle in the meet's opening individual event, closing in 10:51.21. He followed that up later in the afternoon with an eighth-place showing in the 200 butterfly in 2:08.58. Rowe gained a pair of top-five finishes on Saturday, taking fourth in the 200 backstroke (1:58.97) late in the day after opening with a fifth-place tap in the 200 freestyle (1:50.82).

The 400 freestyle relay team of Aaron Kreher (Clarence, NY), Mitch Maciuba (Clarence, NY), Mike Tarsel (Baldwinsville, NY), and Paul Telesca (Liverpool, NY) took seventh at the event, finishing in 3:27.04. Clarkson's 400 medley relay squad of Rowe, Chris Plummer (Spencerport, NY), Parnett, and Telesca came in ninth with a time of 3:50.86.
