By Kelsey Lynch, Swimming World College Intern<\/em><\/p>\n

The A-10 Conference closed its 2014-2015 season in February with a bang. The University of Massachusetts men’s team won the men’s Atlantic 10 Championship title this year, and the University of Richmond women\u00a0took home the trophy on the women’s side.<\/p>\n

The A-10 Championships were held from Feb. 18-21 at Spire Institute in Geneva, Ohio. There were stand-out performances and records broken, but perhaps the most noteworthy accomplishment for a team was the performance of the Massachusetts\u2019s Men\u2019s Swimming and Diving team.<\/p>\n

The Atlantic 10 predicted that St. Bonaventure\u2019s men would defend their title for a third year, but on the last day, Massachusetts stole the title. Massachusett\u2019s women claimed second for an all-round impressive championship performance from the school.<\/p>\n

A-10 MEN<\/h2>\n

St. Bonaventure and Massachusetts\u2019 men\u2019s teams foreshadowed a tough competition between the two teams as they were tied for points after the relays on day one.\u00a0 Massachusetts\u2019 men\u2019s 800-yard freestyle relay (6:31.86) stepped up to the first place podium after an exceptional comeback from Alessandro Bomprezzi<\/strong> as the anchor.<\/p>\n

St. Bonaventure finished second (6:33.55) behind Massachusetts in the 800-yard freestyle relay and took first (1:28.86) in the 200-yard medley relay with Massachusetts in second (1:29.72). Bomprezzi set A-10 records in the 500-yard freestyle (4:19.75) and the 1,650-yard freestyle (15.13.69) and took second in the 200-yard freestyle (1:37.56).<\/p>\n

The Bonnies\u2019 Medley relays were strong this year, as they also took first in the 400-yard medley relay (3:12.90) and set a new A-10 meet record in the process. After day two, Bonaventure\u2019s breaststrokers led with first and second places on the podium.<\/p>\n

Matthew Goettler<\/strong> (54.85) and Preston Schilling<\/strong> (54.93) both earned NCAA \u201cB\u201d qualifying times. Michael Pilyugin<\/strong> set a new A-10 record in the 100-yard backstroke (47.27) at prelims and won the event that night (47.30).<\/p>\n

Alex Marra<\/strong>, St. Bonaventure\u2019s top male diver, won the 1-meter (278.05) and placed second in the 3-meter (305.55).<\/p>\n

George Mason\u2019s Travis Lauri<\/strong> set the A-10 record in the 100-yard butterfly (47.86) while also grabbing an\u00a0NCAA ‘B’ cut to win the event.<\/p>\n

A consistent performer all season long, St. Louis\u2019 freshman Ryan McCoy<\/strong> (multiple A-10 Rookie Award winner) won the 200-yard freestyle (1:37.11) and helped SLU\u2019s 400-yard freestyle relay (2:56.99) team to earn the gold.<\/p>\n

The Bonnies placed second behind Massachusetts\u2019 this year for men\u2019s A-10 Championships with George Mason in third and La Salle\u2019s men in fourth.<\/p>\n

A-10 Women<\/h2>\n

Richmond\u2019s women claimed yet another A-10 Conference title. This is the Spider\u2019s fifth consecutive title and their 13th<\/sup> win in 14 years. The Spiders were behind by just two points leading into the final day of the meet, but came back to sweep the meet with 586 points, while Massachusetts seized second with 498 points.<\/p>\n

On the last day, Richmond\u2019s distance swimmers shined bright with Emma Terwilliger, Meredith Gouger<\/strong> and Molly McSweeney<\/strong> taking third, fourth and fifth, respectively. Also aiding in their final-day fire was Melissa Ross<\/strong> earning first place in the 200-yard butterfly (2:00.24) just out-touching George Mason\u2019s Madison Baker\u00a0<\/strong>(2:00.49).<\/p>\n

Kelley Yang<\/strong> (53.65) broke her own 100-yard butterfly record from 2013 and earned an NCAA ‘B’ cut. Freshman Annie Lane<\/strong> (Multiple A-10 Rookie of the Week Award winner) won the 100-yard breaststroke (1:02.61) and second in the 200-yard freestyle (1:49.39).<\/p>\n

Massachusetts women\u2019s divers played an essential role in their points rack-up. The top four spots and five of the top six spots in the 1-meter were claimed by Massachusetts\u2019 freshman Emma Roush<\/strong> in first (268.35).<\/p>\n

For the 3-meter, Massachusetts\u2019 women yet again all performed outstandingly well and claimed four of the top five spots in the event; Roush placed second (287.20) in the event and Richmond\u2019s Irina Chiulli<\/strong> (two-time A-10 Performer of the Week) swept the event (314.60).<\/p>\n

As predicted,\u00a0Davidson<\/a>\u00a0showed some of the best swimmers in the meet this year. Right away on day one, their women\u2019s 800-yard freestyle relay (7:16.81) won the event to also set new conference and pool records. Davidson\u2019s top freestyle Elise Lankiewicz l<\/strong>ed the women\u2019s team winning all three of her individual freestyle events (100-yard, 200-yard, 500-yard freestyles) and helped all three of the relays (200-yard, 400-yard and 800-yard freestyles) she was on claim gold medals.<\/p>\n

Massachusetts\u2019 women took second place behind Richmond this year overall, Duquesne took third and A-10 rookie Davidson placed fourth for women\u2019s swimming and diving.<\/p>\n
