EASTON, Pa. — It was another dominant performance for the Lehigh men's swimming and diving team, who defeated Lafayette on Friday night 202-80 for their 27th straight victory dating back to the 1991-92 season.
Â
Patriot League Male Swimmer of the Week Walker Wilson, along with freshman Connor Sept, junior Teddy Smith and freshman Glenn Lasco led off the meet with a win in the 200 yard medley relay to a time of 1:32.51. Wilson, who led off the relay, broke the Lehigh-Lafayette meet record for the 50 yard backstroke. In addition to the meet record, Lehigh also broke the Weinstein Natatorium record.
Â
Kevin Fleck, Greg Gardner and Patrick Champagne finished as three as the top four finishers in the 1000 free. Fleck won the event with a 9:28.99. Fleck's time broke Lafayette's pool record, previously held by Binghamton's David Holmes in 2007. Fleck also won the 500 free event with his winning time of 4:36.16.
Â
In the 200 free, Teddy Smith, Matt Feryo and Kian O'Brien swept the podium with Smith coming out on top with a time of 1:43.44. In the very next event, Owen Thomas, Joe Huber and Max Goldenberg swept the event with Thomas coming out on top with a time of 52.73.
Â
Glenn Lasco continued his stretch of dominance in the 50 free with a first-place time of 20.82, beating out Greg Giannella by 0.16 seconds. Lasco also won the 100 free event with a time of 42.25, beating out fellow freshman Joey Rogers by 2.22 seconds. Finally, Lasco picked up a big win in the 100 individual medley with a victory at 52.23.
Â
It was James Mauk who picked up the victory in the 200 yard backstroke, with a winning time of 1:52.51, while Huber and Thomas rounded out the top three for the Mountain Hawks.
Â
Wilson was back to his old tricks in the 100 fly, winning the event with a fast 50.36, but Smith came in second place by only 0.04 seconds. Goldenberg finished third with a 50.79.
Â
As for the diving board, Tyler Keller picked up dual victories in the three-meter dive with a score of 262.70 and in the one-meter dive with a winning score of 297.31.
Â
The win for the Mountain Hawks is their fourth straight on the season, starting year out 4-1, the team's best start since the team started the 2011-12 season off 7-0.
Â
Next up for Lehigh is the U.S. Winter National Championships in Greensboro, N.C. with Walker Wilson competing in the 50 freestyle event. The team will commence again on Dec. 5 at Emmaus High School against La Salle.
