Suckow Sets Two Pool Records as Lions Fall to Army

Junior diver remains undefeated off one and three meter springboards.

NEW YORK -- Junior diver Jonathan Suckow set a pair of pool records at Army's Crandall Pool as the Lions fell 174-126 to the Black Knights. Suckow recorded a score of 421.28 off the one meter before dominating the three meter event by over 100 points (450.08). The Lion standout set a pair of pool records at Ivy League rival Penn, earlier this season.

"Jonathan returned today in absolute top form," Head Dive Coach Scott Donie said in recognition of the feat. "His consistent hard work and attention to detail is quite evident in these performances. All the men should be very proud and we are looking forward to competing again, tomorrow, in our home pool."

From the pool, underclassmen Joshua Cho and Kyle Won went 1-2 in the 100 and 200 backstroke events. Cho outpaced Won by just one tenth of a second in the 100 (50.20, 50.21) while Won earned the advantage in the 200 (1:48.98, 1:49.79).

 Sophomore Seung Joon Ahn shone in the 200 butterfly, claiming the event in 1:48.98. 

In the 100 butterfly, Jonas Kistorp was the lone swimmer to beat the 50 second mark, doing so in 49.91 for the win. The Lions went 1-2-3 in the event as Ray Yang swam for second (50.16) followed by Noah  Czelusta (50.39). Additionally, Kistorp added to Columbia's total in the 50 free, finishing in second (20.68).

Columbia returns home tomorrow, January 22, for a 1:00 P.M. face-off against the Naval Academy at 1:00 P.M.
