Joseph Nicol earns first collegiate win in 3m

WEST POINT, N.Y. — The Columbia men's swimming and diving team hit the road for its first non-conference meet of the regular season on Friday evening, traveling to West Point to square off against Army. The Black Knights emerged victorious in the meet, beating the Lions 178-119.

"Another tough day for the Lions on the road this afternoon as the Black Knights from West Point put together a strong set of performances and swam away with the victory," Head Coach Jim Bolster said. "Always disappointing not to get the win, but the guys raced hard. We have a good league meet coming up tomorrow against rival Cornell and I anticipate that we will be able to swim better. We will have to in order to earn the win."

Adam Wu was the star of the meet for the Lions once again, winning all three events he competed in. He won the 200-free, 500-free, and 200-fly.

Stanford Li also had a great showing, sweeping both backstroke events (100-back and 200-back).

Brian Lee also picked up a win in the 100-fly.

As for the divers, Joseph Nicol's earned his first collegiate win in the 3m, putting up a score of 327.68. Nicol placed second on the 1m boards with a score of 315.75.

"Great showing for Joe in both events" Head Diving Coach Scott Donie said. "He is improving with every single meet we compete in."
