The Atlantic 10\u00a0swimming championships returns this year to the SPIRE Institute in Geneva, Ohio. Beginning Wednesday night, the Richmond women and George Washington men will seek to defend their titles from last year. The Richmond women have won the conference title every year since 2011, while last year the George Washington men upset the University of Massachusetts.<\/p>\n

While this year’s championships will be exciting throughout, here are five specific races to watch:<\/p>\n

1. Men’s 4×50 Medley Relay<\/h1>\n

The first night of competition looks to be an exciting one, highlighted by the men’s 4×50 medley relay. The top four seeds–St. Louis, Massachusetts, La Salle, and Fordham–are all seeded within less than a second of each other. Of these teams, last year only Massachusetts finished in the top three. They came in third place, while the George Washington men won, setting the conference and meet records with a time of 1:27.53. This year they are seeded fourth. So, this relay looks to be just about anyone’s race.<\/p>\n

2. Women’s 500 Freestyle<\/h1>\n

With the graduation of Davidson standout\u00a0Elise Lankiewicz<\/strong>, the women’s 500 freestyle is wide open. Duquesne sophomore\u00a0Summer Svitavsky<\/strong> holds the top seed with her time of 4:57.14. Last year, she finished in eighth place. She’s followed closely by two freshman,\u00a0Kelly Malyszka<\/strong> (Massachusetts) and\u00a0Kate Magill<\/strong> (Fordham), who will both stand to challenge Svitavsky. The fourth, fifth, and sixth seeds–Mina Glenesk\u00a0<\/strong>(St. Louis),\u00a0Carson Gross<\/strong> (Duquesne), and\u00a0Lauren Devorace<\/strong> (Duquesne)–all finished higher than Svitavsky at last year’s meet. Finally, Richmond senior\u00a0Annie Lane\u00a0<\/strong>is only seeded with a 5:04.02 for 17th, but she finished second last year with a 4:49.<\/p>\n

3. Men’s 200 Freestyle<\/h1>\n

In the men’s 200 freestyle, St. Louis senior\u00a0Ryan McCoy\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>is currently seeded first by over three seconds. Though he opted not to swim the event last year, McCoy holds the conference and meet records from 2016 with a time of 1:35.99, about a second faster than his fastest time this year. Should McCoy choose to swim it (he is also seeded first in the 100 fly), it should be exciting. Regardless, the race behind him will be exciting as well.\u00a0Moritz Fath<\/strong>,\u00a0Clay Resweber<\/strong>,\u00a0Maximilian Forstenhaeusler<\/strong>, and\u00a0Aleksandar Nikolic<\/strong> are all entered with times between 1:40.03 and 1:40.72. All four men finished in the top six of last year’s final, with Fath winning in a time of 1:37.35.<\/p>\n

4. Women’s 100 Breaststroke<\/h1>\n

The women’s 100 breaststroke is another event where last year’s champion graduated, leaving the field open. Last year’s second place finisher,\u00a0Ansley Baker<\/strong> of Massachusetts, returns and is seeded fifth this year with a 1:04.39, well off her time from last year of 1:01.84. Rhode Island’s\u00a0Nicole Petta<\/strong>, who was third last year, comes in seeded sixth just behind Baker in 1:04.53. Likewise, she is also off her time from last year of 1:02.16. Both Baker and Petta are definitely contenders to take the race this year. Additionally,\u00a0Gerle Kerecsen<\/strong>, a freshman from St. Bonaventure, leads the season thus far with a time of 1:03.60. George Mason’s\u00a0Amy Tansill<\/strong> and Duquesne’s\u00a0Abby Stauffer<\/strong> have also been 1:03.61 and 1:03.67, respectively. As such, the race looks to be an exciting and close one.<\/p>\n

5. Men’s 200 Backstroke<\/h1>\n

In the men’s 200 backstroke, La Salle senior\u00a0Fabian Bergman<\/strong>\u00a0appears to be the clear favorite. He is currently seeded first by three and a half seconds with a time of 1:44.01. Bergman finished second last year at these championships with a time of 1:43.25. But, last year’s champion and conference and meet record holder,\u00a0Gustav Hokfelt<\/strong> of George Washington, returns to compete as well. He is only seeded 20th in 1:53.76, which is over 11 seconds slower than his winning time last year. Should Hokfelt return to his form from last year, the men’s 200 back will be a tight race between him and Bergman.<\/p>\n
