Two meets into this season, the men have already matched that total following Saturday&#8217;s 175-125 victory on the road at Navy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m really proud and excited by the overall performance,&#8221; Auburn head coach <strong>Gary Taylor<\/strong> said. &#8220;Any time you go on the road and get a win, it&#8217;s a big deal. And certainly after last year, the opportunity for this team to fight hard, to finish and get a win, it&#8217;s obviously a positive outcome.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/meet\/sec-swimming\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SEC COVERAGE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Competing on the road for the first time this season, Taylor challenged his squad to start fast and capitalize on the early energy and momentum in a new environment. The Tigers responded with first-place finishes in the first four events.<\/p>\n<p>The relay team of <strong>Christian Ginieczki, Spencer Rowe, Santiago Grassi<\/strong> and <strong>Jack Armstrong<\/strong> got it started with a win in the 200 medley relay. Next, sophomore<strong> Aryan Makhija<\/strong> cruised to victory in the 1,000 freestyle, winning the event for the second straight week. <strong>Christian Sztolcman<\/strong> and <strong>Thomas Heinze<\/strong>l followed with a 1-2 finish in the 200 freestyle, and then it was freshman <strong>Lleyton Smith<\/strong> earning his first collegiate win in the 100 backstroke.<\/p>\n<p>It was another strong meet for <a href=\"https:\/\/auburntigers.com\/roster.aspx?rp_id=14683\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Grassi<\/a>, who won the 50 free and 100 butterfly and also contributed on winning relay teams in both the 200 medley relay and the 400 freestyle relay. He&#8217;s now finished first in all eight races he&#8217;s swam in this season.<\/p>\n<p>Armstrong and fellow freshman <strong>Aidan Stoffle<\/strong> finished second and third behind Grassi in the 50 free, giving the Tigers a clean sweep in the event. Armstrong was also a part of both of Auburn&#8217;s winning relay teams while Stoffle finished second in the 200 backstroke.<\/p>\n<p>In total, Auburn swimming won nine of the 14 events Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Just continued growth from the team,&#8221; Taylor said. &#8220;I told them before the meet that Navy would fight really hard. They would not roll over. And what I&#8217;m most proud of is our men came out on the road in a different environment and I thought performed really well. They got a lot of close wins and come away with a big victory and are 2-0.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>DIVING RECAP<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sophomore <strong>Conner Pruitt<\/strong> beat his scores from a week ago with two new personal bests in both the 1-meter (372.53) and 3-meter (393.98) diving competitions. Pruitt won the 1-meter event and finished second in the 3-meter.<\/p>\n<p><i>\u2014 The above press release was posted by Swimming World in conjunction with Auburn Swimming<\/i><i>.
