NCAA Div. I: George Mason Takes Women’s Crown, No. Carolina-Wilmington Wins Men’s at Colonial AA Champs

FAIRFAX, VA., Feb. 23. IT took George Mason's women swimmers just three years to reach the top.

The ladies from Fairfax, VA., in only their third year of existence, outswam the field en route to their inaugural Colonial Athletic Association Swimming
and Diving Championship when the splashing concluded this evening at the Athletic and Fitness Center on the GMU campus here.

On the men's side University of North Carolina-Wilmington, led by sprinter Dan Gallagher, a senior who set a meet-record in the 50 free opening night
(NCAA "A" cut 19.71) then won the 100 free this evening, won its division.

Led by sophomore triple individual champ Lauren Stinnett, who won the 200 back-fly-400 IM and was named Outstanding Woman Performer for her three victories, GMU outdistanced runners-up James Madison, 698-619. Third was William & Mary (446).

Stinnett's winning times (1:58.46, fly; 1:58.60, back; 4:20.77, IM) were all meet records and her fly clocking was an NCAA automatic "A" standard. Stinnett's 400 IM/200 back swims were both NCAA "B" cuts.. She'll almost assuredly swim all three at Austin next month (site of the NCAA Division 1
Championships) as she's got that auto cut in the fly.

Stinnett also swam on GMU's winning 400 medley relay team.

A talented age grouper for Coach Rick Curl's Curl-Burke program in nearby Potomac, Md. throughout the 1990s, Stinett's pr in the 200 back is a 1:57.88
that she swam three years ago at the Maryland All-Stars Meet in College Park — site of this year's women's and men's Atlantic Coast Conference
Championships.

In the 200 fly her pr is 1:57.89 from the Potomac Valley JOs five years ago. With the competition of NCAAs, she's bound to improve upon both these marks
next month, as well as in the 400 IM too..

UNC-Wilmington's Gallagher was named the Men’s Outstanding Performer for his two wins (he also finaled in the 100 fly), and he led off UNC's victorious 200 free relay squad too, which made the NCAA "B" cut.

Gallagher also went a 44.46 in the prelims of the 100 free to set another CAA record and make the NCAA "B" cut. He won at nightwith a 45.04.

Towson's Aaron Krause had a fine meet too, winning both backstrokes (48.88-1:47.06) and leading off TSU's runner-up 400 free team.

George Mason head coach Peter Ward was named Women’s Coach of the Year, while Dave Allen of UNC Wilmington was named Men’s Coach of the Year for the second time in his career.
