MIDDLEBURY, VT- The Williams College men’s swimming and diving team (8-0) competed in the final day of the Middlebury Invitational Saturday afternoon. This also marked the final competition in the stellar four-year careers of Jeremy Doernberger, Henry Burton, and Yevgeniy Korunskiy.
“I’m very proud of the effort of our seniors who finished up their Eph careers,” said head coach Steve Kuster. “I’m very happy with the performances of everyone who ended their season today.”
Some of those notable Ephs who excelled in their final action of the 2007-08 season were junior Ben Bodurian, sophomore Austin Stanley, and first year Justin Marsh.
On the day the Ephs grabbed two event victories and 6 second place finishes. Senior Chris Millen bested the field in the 100 yard freestyle (47.63) and swam second in the 100 yard breaststroke (1:01.66), while junior Norman Scott had the top time in the 200 yard IM.
Rounding out the top times for the Ephs were Doernberger in the 200 yard backstroke (2nd – 1:58.51), Burton in the 200 yard butterfly (2nd – 2:02.17), Stanley in the 200 yard breaststroke (2nd – 2:15.44), Blackford in the 100 yard butterfly (2nd – 54.09), and senior Alex Wentworth-Ping in the 500 yard freestyle (2nd – 4:51.67).
“Today we saw some good NESCAC tune up swims and some great end of season swims,” said Kuster.
The Ephs now look forward to defend their conference title at the NESCAC Championships starting February 29th.
