It was a successful weekend for both the men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams in Rochester, New York. Both teams beat all competition on Oct. 24 and 25.

The men’s team won 294-62 against Brandeis University, 275.5-85.5 against University of Rochester and 238-131 against Canisius College. The women’s team won 311-49 against Brandeis University, 246.5-123.5 against University of Rochester and 255-113 against Canisius College.

The men’s side was led by senior co-captain Jerry Crowley. Crowley won the 50-yard freestyle, 100-yard freestyle and the 100-yard butterfly on Saturday. In addition, Crowley set a new record for the Rochester pool in the 100-yard freestyle with a time of 45.64. Not to be outdone, Crowley’s fellow co-captain senior Matt Kendall finished first in the 100- and 200-yard breaststroke.

“I thought we had a great outing,” Crowley said. “Coming off a few weeks of tough practices, we had a lot of kids pull through and put together some great swims this weekend. Can’t be more excited for what the rest of the season has in store for us.”

Diver Austen Blease also had a notable weekend. The senior won the one-meter competition on Friday, then placed third in the three-meter competition the next day. Blease is now officially qualified for the NCAA regional meet.

The freshmen made a significant impact for the men over the weekend. Austin Palmer won two events, the 500-yard freestyle and 400-yard individual medley. Meanwhile, Adam Betts came away victorious in the 100-yard backstroke and Tim Kou won the 200-yard freestyle.

The women were equally impressive, beating all three of their opponents in Rochester. Standouts included sophomores Ashlie Pankonin and Nia Sorgente. The divers finished first and second in the one-meter competition, with times of 252.25 and 235.50, respectively.

Swimmers from all years had successful outings in Rochester. Freshman Rachel Munger was victorious in the 100-yard breaststroke, finishing with a time of 1:08.12. Munger also won the 200-yard breaststroke, finishing with a time of 2:28.83. Sophomore co-captain Michelle Kierencew won the 400-yard individual medley. Finally, senior co-captain Emily Doerner came out victorious in the 100- and 200-yard backstroke competitions.

“The whole team did an amazing job regardless of the hard training we’ve been going through the past couple of weeks,” Kierencew said. “We managed to defeat a Division I team that beat us last year, so I’m excited to see what other milestones we can achieve for meets to come.”

The men and women are in action again on Nov. 1 against Vassar College. The competition kicks off at 1 p.m. at NYU’s home pool in Palladium residence hall.
