WILLIAMSTOWN, MA – The Williams College
swimming & diving team continues to hold onto its lead after
day two of the 2010 NESCAC Men’s Swimming & Diving
Championship. The Ephs now have 1355.5 points, followed by Tufts
(1027), Amherst (993), Middlebury (708.5), and Connecticut College
(549.5). The third and final day of competition will begin
tomorrow, February 28, 2010 with trials at 10AM and finals
beginning at 5:30PM.
“We had a great morning,” said a proud head coach
Steve Kuster. “We really showed our depth. These guys did
what they had to do to give us a solid lead on the day.”
During the morning session, Williams junior Gary Roberson earned
the Ephs’ first individual victory of the NESCAC tournament
and broke a pool record with his performance in the 1000 yard
freestyle bout (9:27.54). "Gary gave us our first individual win
and really set us up for an overall good day."
The Ephs consistently placed in the top four throughout the day,
leading to a high accumulation of total points by the end. “I
saw great swimming across the board,” said coach. Kuster said
that Ephs Paul Dyrkacz (2nd) and Chris Corbett (4th) did a great
job in the 400 IM with times of 4:01.19(NATB) and 4:05.77(NATB),
respectively. Also mentioned as a highlight of the meet was Greg
McElroy’s performance in the 100 yard breast (58.45 NATB).
Sophomore Stuart Horgan, who was a standout in yesterday's 500
free, earned a NATB time of 50.71 in today's 100 fly.
The Ephs hope to keep up their performance as they head into the final day of NESCAC competition.
