Navy Men Win, Women Second at ECAC Swimming & Diving Championship

ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- The Navy men's team won the program's 11th-straight ECAC Swimming and Diving Championship while the women's team recorded a second-place finish at the meet that concluded Sunday at Lejeune Hall in Annapolis.

The men's team totaled 850 points to win the meet by nearly 400 points.  The women's team tallied 616 points to finish in second place, 31 points in back of first-place Bucknell.

Navy's Tyler Kaminski was selected as the ECAC Men's Swimmer of the Year and Bill Roberts was named the ECAC Coach of the Year.

Kaminski won a pair of events on Sunday, winning the 200 back (1:44.07) and 200 fly (1:46.30) finals.  Also winning individual events on the day for the Mids were James Lyon in the 1650 free (15:28.61), Evan McKelvey in the 100 free (44.07) and Noah Robinson in the 200 breast (1:56.72).

The meet closed with Navy's team of Austin Lockhart, Conor Cranfield, Cohen Bruner and Natanas Gaver winning the 400 free relay (2:57.28)

"The team was terrific from start to finish this weekend," said Roberts.  "We are extremely proud of the way they represented our program and Navy at the meet.  There were many standout performances, all of which were a reflection of their dedication and commitment all season long."

The Navy women's team saw Allie Maloney and Maddie Koutavas earn silver medals on Sunday.  Maloney posted a time of 2:00.42 to finish second in the 200 back and Koutavas recorded an effort of 2:15.30 to place second in the 200 fly.

Additionally, the 400 free relay team of Viviana Vergara-Anglim, Valentina Fraga, Phoebe Yoder and Megan Murphy earned a podium spot with a third-place time of 3:28.19.

"Thanks to the ECAC for supporting the meet at Lejeune Hall," said Navy women's head coach John Morrison.  "Congratulations to the Bucknell coaches and team on a hard-fought win, and to Bill Roberts and our men's team for an incredible weekend of racing.  They certainly set the tone for a fast meet.

"I couldn't be more proud of the way our team battled through the weekend.  We closed the season with so many incredible performances from everyone on the team in the pool and diving well.  We are excited about how far this team has come this season and we are motivated for some great work this spring and summer."
