ROCHESTER, NY – The No. 18 Men's Swimming & Diving team won the team competition with 1,576 points at the Don Richards Invitational at Judson Pool this weekend.

The Tigers won every swimming event final held during the two-day event, setting eight pool records as well as four school records and a Liberty League record along the way.

The highlight of the event came on Saturday, when Senior Brendan Kapp swam the 200 Breaststroke in 2:00.15, breaking the pool, school, and conference record in the event. It's the third-best time in the entirety of Division III this season. 

Kapp won five events during the weekend, also winning the 200 IM and 100 Breaststroke while taking part in the 400 and 200 Medley Relay teams.

In addition to the 200 Breaststroke, school records were set in the 200 Freestyle Relay (junior Mike Atanasoff, sophomore Jake Sapp, senior Aidan Daudier, and junior Drew Scheib) and 400 Freestyle Relay (Sapp, Atanasoff, Daudier, and Scheib). 

Atanasoff would also end the competition with six titles, including individual pool records in the 50 freestyle and 100 butterfly.

In diving, sophomore Gellert Kish finished second in the three meter event but won the one meter event. 

The Tigers now go on a holiday break before returning to competition on Jan. 2 at the New Year's Eve at Indian River event.
