JCU notched a nice effort in a victory over Heidelberg

UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS – Nothing beats swimming in your home pool.

For the first time of the 2025-26 campaign, which has overall been a strong season, John Carroll Men's Swimming & Diving enjoyed the warm waters of the Johnson Natatorium.

Safe to say the pool treated JCU well, as the Blue Streaks dominated Heidelberg University on Friday evening, 172-27.

Results

The evening began on a positive note with a victory in the 200 Yard Medley Relay. David Miller, Alex Gallagher, Dom Falcon, and Patrick Branch combined for a winning time of 1:35.37.

On the distance side, Sam Kmet won the 1000 Free with a conquering time of 10:15.81, followed by Zach Marinis in second at 10:17.88. Cameron Cook fired up a victory in the 500 Free with a mark of 5:02.37, followed by Branch.

Nathan Reigle impressed in the 200 Free, clocking in at 1:46.51 to claim the crown by a wide margin. 

Showing his versatility, Cook guided JCU sweep the 50 Free with a top time of 21.49, followed by Falcon and Kyle Priset. Cook also impressed in the 100 Free, flying for a winning mark of 48.49.

Joe Nadur did his thing like usual in the 200 IM, clocking in at 2:17.86.

Michael Vertikoff enjoyed a strong day again. The first year secured the top spot in the 50 Butterfly with a 23.04, and picked up another victory in the 50 Backstroke later with a mark of 24.50.

It was a positive note to end the day. Miller, Falcon, Brach, and Vertikoff soared for a top time of 1:28.76 in the 200 Free Relay.
