Men's Swimming & Diving Drops Non-Conference Meet Against Navy
1/21/2023 6:30:00 PM | Men's Swimming and Diving
Suckow, Wu, & Won each win multiple events
"Tough meet today; Navy is a good team and we just did not have enough depth to stay with them," Head Coach Jim Bolster said. "I thought we had some great individual efforts as Adam Wu, Kyle Won and Jonny Suckow each won two events. We lost four others by less than a second; one or two of those races in our favor and the outcome might have been different. Overall, I was pleased with our effort and look forward to a strong finish to our season."
Suckow once again dominated, and was victorious on both diving boards, coming away with nine points in each event. He won both the 1-meter dive and 3-meter dive with scores of 374.55 and 415.88, respectively. Columbia also took second in both diving events, as Nick Leavell placed second in the 1-meter (324.08) and Casey Fellows finished second in the 3-meter (319.5).
"Jonathan continues his dominance along with excellent results for all five divers," Head Diving Coach Scott Donie said. "There were too many highlights to mention! Looking forward to getting back to work as we prepare for our final two meets of the season."
The Lions' first individual victory of the day came in the 1000-free, when Adam Wu touched the wall with a time of 9:18.98. Wu also won the 500-free with a time of 4:33.50.
Kyle Won alo had a great day, winning the 100-back (50.10) and 200-back (1:48.49).
Seungjoon Ahn picked up a victory in the 200-fly, clocking in at 1:47.89.
The Lions will hit the road for a conference meet against Cornell on Saturday, January 28. The competition is set to begin at 11 a.m.
