Keydet Men Take One of Three Duals at Mount

EMMITSBURG, Md. – The VMI men's swimming and diving team won one of three duals Saturday, competing on the final day of a two-day event hosted by Mount St. Mary's in Emmitsburg, Md.

The Keydets went to 3-3 on the year in duals, as they defeated New Jersey Tech (NJIT) 148-41 but lost to Saint Peter's 136-67 and to Manhattan 111-88.

A day after finishing third in the 200-meter freestyle, Kodiak Bowers won that event on Saturday, finishing in 2:01.98. That was nearly two seconds faster than the second-place swimmer. Bowers would return in the 400-meter freestyle relay, joining Chris Dreikorn, Jack Sullivan and Ian Morales to combine for a third-place finish in 3:52.46. Finally, the freshman would come home second in the 200-meter freestyle (4:25.16), leading Andrew Nelson and Benji Howard, who finished fourth and fifth.

Sullivan had the other best individual effort for the Keydets on Saturday, finishing third in the 200-meter butterfly, with a time of 2:29.83. Morales was fourth in the 200-meter individual medley (2:21.80), while Dreikorn was sixth in the 50-meter freestyle (26.13).

David Hayes was fourth in the 200-meter breaststroke (2:38.89), after being a part of the fourth-place 200-meter medley relay team. That squad, the “B” unit, also included Joe Dutter, Alex Green and Ben Zaepfel. The “A” unit in that race, Everett Eschbach, Marcus Sutter, Thomas Brown and Sam Halter was second in 1:58.81.

Finally, Howard was fourth in the 800-meter freestyle (9:45.70).

VMI men's swimming and diving is back in action next Saturday in Lynchburg, Va., taking on Gardner-Webb in a meet hosted by Liberty University. Action is scheduled to get underway at 12:30 p.m.
