Final Results

Despite winning both diving competitions and three individual races, the Colorado College men's swimming and diving team dropped a 130-102 decision to Adams State University Saturday at Schlessman Natatorium.

Senior Austin Howlett, the reigning Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Diver of the Week, won both the 1-and 3-meter diving competitions with scores of 313.15 and 322.73, respectively. Freshman Ben Hicks placed second in each event.
 
In the pool, senior Sam Zuke captured first place in the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 22.62 seconds, followed by senior Chris Garrity in second place at 23.03. The duo, along with senior Brian Kopec and sophomore Daniel Oldendorf, won the 400-yard freestyle team 3:22.69. Garrity also finished second in the 100-yard butterfly (55.63) while Oldendorf was second in the 200-yard medley (2:06.22).
 
In the 100-yard freestyle, sophomore Crane Sarris posted an impressive winning time of 49.25 while Zuke finished third in 51.43. Senior Erik Laitos placed second in the 100-yard backstroke and senior Matthew Nadel was third in the 1000-yard freestyle, while Kopec and Laitos were third and fourth, respectively, in the 200-yard freestyle.

"It was great to have Crane Sarris back from an injury, even though he was only cleared to swim one event," said CC head coach Anne Goodman James. "He took advantage of that opportunity by winning the 100 free. Sam (Zuke) continues to be a great racer and has stepped up his intensity at practice. Erik (Laitos) also had a phenomenal day, racing with great tempo and focus."
 
The Tigers travel to Southlake, Texas, next weekend for the Trinity Western Shootout, Nov. 21-22.
