Men's Swimming Takes Second At NYU Fall Invitational

New York, N.Y. – The Stevens Institute of Technology men's swim team placed second at the New York University Fall Invitational on Saturday.

The Ducks tallied 61 points, trailing NYU's 169 and besting Drew University's 50.

HOW IT HAPPENED
Stevens opened the day with a third-place time in the 200-medley relay, as Ethan Emerton, Angel Velasquez, Deo Bove, and Will Stibor clocked in at 1:37.81. Bove notched two points in the 100-fly, touching the wall in 53.47. Edward Platonov placed fifth in the 200-freestyle in 1:47.36, as Andy Kolecki was eighth in 1:50.3.

Velasquez took fifth in the 100-breaststroke (1:00.18) as Lukas Mikulenas (1:01.5) and Cade Cermak (1:01.77) were just behind him. Ryan Ward was seventh in the 100-back (56.75) as the foursomes of Stibor, Cermak, Emerton, and Platonov (7:22.74) along with Kolecki, Liam Rodgers, Bove, and Ward (7:28.98) closed out the morning in the 800-freestyle relay.

In the night session, Andrew Gaba (17:57.37) led four Ducks in the 1,650-freestyle, with Emerton (2:00.82) and Ward (2:03.19) going back-to-back in the 200-backstroke. Stibor (47.73) and Platonov (47.86) had top-10 marks in the 100-freestyle, with Mikulenas (2:16) leading the way in the 200-breaststroke. Emerton, Gailen Davis, Bryan Laverty, and Velasquez turned in a time of 3:28.21 in the 400-free relay, while Stibor, Cermak, Kolekci, and Platonov finished in 3:16.19 to finish off the event.

FROM THE POOL DECK (Head Coach Adam Schneider)
"We had a lot of great races all weekend. We have been hitting some of our hardest training of the year and although everyone was certainly feeling a bit tired we were still able to get new season bests in nearly every event. Our performance this weekend has us feeling strong and confident coming into our last meets of the Fall, first at Hartwick in 2 weeks, and the TCNJ Invite the weekend after where we will look to post some personal bests."

UP NEXT
The Ducks return to the pool on November 16 as they head to Hartwick College to face the Hawks and the University of Scranton at 1 pm.
