Men's Swimming Dominates on Senior Night, Completes Season Undefeated in MAC With Win Over Widener

GLENSIDE, Pa. - The Arcadia University men's swimming team gave seniors Dalton Fink and Thomas McAdam a proper send off on senior night as the Knights went on to win a total of 12 out of the 14 events against visiting Widener.

FINAL SCORE:
ARCADIA 162, WIDENER 100


Despite narrowly losing the opening 200 Medley Relay, the Knights picked themselves right back up with a 1-2 finish in the 1000 Freestyle and never looked back. Sophomore Dylan Alexander and junior Kevin Foley contributed to the momentum changing results with respective times of 10:26.28 and 10:55.30.

Carlos Pinga swam to a 1st place finish in the following event, the 200 Freestyle, in a season best time of 1:49.28.

The wins and valuable points kept piling up with a victory in the 100 Backstroke from junior Janis Kirsis (55.03) and an impressive 1-3-4 finish in the 100 Breaststroke led by sophomore Geroge Wade (1:01.02), first-year Tyler Mui (1:01.30) and junior Bailey Orehosky (1:07.03).

First-year Ryan Erdman easily cleared the field in the 50 Free sprint event, winning by over half a second in 22.29 seconds.

Multiple event wins on the night came from Pinga, who collected two additional golds, this time in the 100 Freestyle (48.60) and 100 Butterfly (55.81). Kirsis picked up victories in the 200 Backstroke (2:03.05) and 200 IM (2:01.27), Wade triumphed in the 200 Breaststroke (2:15.31) and Alexander came out on top in the 500 Freestyle (5:02.88).

The night ended emphatically with a 1-3 finish in the 200 Freestyle Relay. The A Relay consisted of Pinga, Erdman, Mui and Wade (1:29.59) while the B Relay was comprised of sophomore Daniel Ross, Alexander, first-year Adam Smith and Orehosky (1:35.20).
