It was a good weekend for the JCU men's swimming & diving team thanks to two wins in less than 24 hours.

Results: vs. Notre Dame  /  vs. Wilmington

After a close win over Notre Dame College, 116-103, at Cleveland State's Busbey Natatorium in the Cleveland Dual Meet Invitational earlier in the week, the Blue Streaks knew they would be seeing them again. 

This time, the Blue Streaks left no doubt about the final outcome, defeating the Falcons this time around 135-55 on Friday December 2.

Out of the 11 events the men competed in they placed first in seven: 200 yard freestyle, 50 yard freestyle, 200 yard IM, 100 yard freestyle, 100 yard backstroke, 500 yard freestyle, and 400 yard freestyle relay.

John Carroll captured first, second, and third place finishes in the 200 yard freestyle.  Drew Edson placed first, Eric Davis placed second, and David Sved came in third.  For the 50 yard freestyle, Alex Vereshchagin came out on top.
           
The 200 yard IM had a one two finish for the Blue Streaks by Nick Holvey and Michael Goggins.
           
Davis and Sved gain nine and four points respectively for the team in the 100 yard freestyle.

The 100 yard backstroke became an interesting battle between JCU.  Blake Pinchot and Nick Bockanic tied for first, each contributing 6.50 for the team.

Edson again appeared on top when he placed first in the 500 yard freestyle as well as the 400 yard freestyle relay along with Davis, Holvey, and Vereshchagin.

The weekend did not end here and neither did the wins.  The Blue Streaks were off to compete with Wilmington College on Saturday December 3.  John Carroll defeated the Quakers, 128-76 placing first in 6 of the 11 events.

The Blue Streaks' relays teams A and B took first and second in the 200 meter medley relay.  Blake Pinchot, Alex Vereshchagin, Eric Davis, and David Sved swam for A, and Nick Bockanic, Zach Tomsick, Evan Coury, and Xavier Augustyniak swam for B.

Another one two finish action happened in the 200 meter freestyle, with Vereshchagin and Sved, and in the 100 meter butterfly with Coury and Pat McLaughlin.

The 50 meter freestyle first place finish was won by Holvey, and the 100 meter freestyle was won by Vereshchagin.
