The Navy men\u2019s squad won 11 events and placed first, second and third in five races to notch its 29th victory in a row in the series.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are very proud of the entire team effort today,\u201d said Navy women\u2019s swimming head coach <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/navysports.com\/sports\/womens-swimming-and-diving\/roster\/coaches\/john-morrison\/768\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">John Morrison<\/a>.<\/strong> \u201cThe two Navy teams fed off of the success of the other, and each were inspired by the outstanding home crowd.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI first want to thank everybody who supports the program to make this meet possible,\u201d said Navy men\u2019s swimming head coach <a href=\"https:\/\/navysports.com\/coaches.aspx?rc=582&amp;path=mswim\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Bill Roberts<\/strong><\/a>. \u201cThat starts with everyone in the stands. It was an amazing turnout for this event and I cannot put into words what this means to our programs. And to the support we received on the pool deck from all of those who helped behind the scenes, thanks for helping make this a memorable experience for the Midshipmen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The meet could not have started any better for Navy as the Mids swept the opening 200 medley relay races. The women\u2019s team, in fact, placed both first (1:40.15) and second (1:40.75) while the men\u2019s relays finished in both first (1:27.00) and third (1:29.65) places.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe challenged the team to take advantage of the home pool and jump out to great swims in the opening relay,\u201d said Morrison. \u201cThey really set the tone for the entire meet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Army\u2019s Kristen Gullickson posted a four-second victory (10:08.46) in the first individual event of the night, the 1000 freestyle. However, the men\u2019s 1000 free started a string of five-straight races in which Navy swimmers earned the top-three placings. Ryan Waters (Jr., Basking Ridge, N.J.) touched the wall in a time of 8:58.96 to win the race by two seconds over teammate<strong> Luke Johnson<\/strong> (Jr., Charlotte, N.C.) and also break the Navy (8:59.52) and meet (8:59.81) record in the event.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Martina Thomas<\/strong> (So., Fayetteville, Ark.) posted a time of 1:45.29 to win the women\u2019s 200 free by almost three seconds, then <strong>Daniel Cook<\/strong> (Jr., Virginia Beach, Va.) won the men\u2019s 200 free by eight-tenths of a second with his meet-record (1:36.00) effort of 1:35.70.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jamie Miller<\/strong> (Sr., Rochester Hills, Mich.) followed with a winning time of 54.02 in the women\u2019s 100 backstroke. That bettered both the Navy (54.04) and meet (54.10) records. Closing the run of Navy wins was <strong>Caleb Mauldin<\/strong> (So., Chesapeake, Va.) as he won the men\u2019s 100 back with a time of 47.15.<\/p>\n<p>Army swimmers swept the wins in the 100 breaststroke, then <strong>Sydney Harrington<\/strong> (So., Fairfax, Va.) took to the blocks in the women\u2019s 200 fly. She would tally a time of 1:54.47 to win the race by 3.6 seconds and, in the process, lower her own Navy and league record (1:56.53), better the meet record (1:57.06) and break the pool record of 1:54.53 set by Olympian Katie Hoff in 2007.<\/p>\n<p>The Navy women claimed the top three placings in the 200 fly, then the Navy men took first and second in the men\u2019s race with <strong>Micah Oh<\/strong> (Jr., Kent, Ohio) posting a time of 1:44.65 to edge teammate <strong>Ethan Tack\u2019s<\/strong> (So., Dix Hills, N.Y.) second-place time of 1:45.04.<\/p>\n<p>The last swimming event of the first half of the meet was the 50 freestyle. <strong>Sarah Sorensen<\/strong> (So., Gainesville, Fla.) led a 1-2-3 finish for the Navy women, with the Navy men finishing in second and third place.<\/p>\n<p>The opening diving events of the meet saw Navy athletes claim the top three placings in both the women\u2019s three-meter event and the men\u2019s one-meter board. <strong>Meghan Gerdes<\/strong> (Jr., Spring, Texas) won the women\u2019s event with her score of 312.00 and <strong>Bradley Buchter<\/strong> (Sr., Hickory, N.C.) won the men\u2019s competition with an overall tally of 376.43.<\/p>\n<p>The second half of the meet began where it left off for the Navy women as the Mids took first, second and third in the 100 freestyle. Thomas won her second event of the night with her clocking of 49.29. Cook became the first Navy men\u2019s swimmer to win a second individual event as he posted a 44.48 to win the men\u2019s 100 free.<\/p>\n<p>Navy women\u2019s swimmers kept their run of 1-2-3 finishes going as they did so in the 200 backstroke with Miller claiming the victory. Her time of 1:55.00 was a new school (1:55.14) and meet (1:56.08) record. <strong>Dominick Wallace<\/strong> (Jr., La Jolla, Calif.) made it a combined four-straight wins for the Mids as he claimed the victory in the men\u2019s 200 back (1:44.09).<\/p>\n<p>Army won each 200 breaststroke event, then <strong>Erin Scudder<\/strong> (Sr., Western Springs, Ill.) and Waters earned the victories in the 500 freestyle races. Scudder posted a time of 4:51.68 in a 1-2-4 Navy finish, with Waters recording a 4:25.05 to lead a 1-2-3 Navy showing.<\/p>\n<p>Harrington kept her great night going as she won the 100 fly with a time of 52.12. That effort, which was part of a 1-2-3 Navy finish, broke her own school and league (53.07) record and set a new meet record (53.66). She would also win the next women\u2019s event, the 200 individual medley, with a time of 2:01.31.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSydney and Martina were outstanding today,\u201d said Morrison. \u201cThey provided sparks at opportune times.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Army would win the men\u2019s 100 fly and 200 IM to close out the individual swimming portion of the meet.<\/p>\n<p>The second and last diving events saw <strong>Hannah Montau<\/strong> (So., Germantown, Md.) record 280.88 points to win the women\u2019s one-meter event by 26 points and Buchter accrue 390.30 points to win the men\u2019s three-meter board by nearly 65 points.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am very pleased and excited with how our divers performed this evening,\u201d said Navy diving coach <strong>Rich MacDonald<\/strong>. \u201cThe environment at this meet is electric, and sometimes that makes it difficult to stay focused and reign in your nerves. Army has some good divers, so I was happy when our divers responded so confidently.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Closing out the meet was the 400 freestyle relay events. The Navy women\u2019s team posted a time of 3:20.56 to win its race, with the Navy men\u2019s team completing the event in a time of 2:56.36 to also win the race.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo much credit goes to the athletes for their having the performances they did today,\u201d said Roberts. \u201cI cannot say enough about their commitment and loyalty to each other. It is an honor and privilege to watch each of them train, prepare, fight and compete.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_406826\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-406826\" data-attachment-id=\"406826\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/navy-swimming-and-diving-defeats-army-in-front-of-standing-room-only-crowd\/navy-women-swimming-diving\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/navy-women-swimming-diving-rotated-e1576257598788.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1500,1125\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 8 Plus&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1576180713&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.99&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;125&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.016666666666667&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"navy-women-swimming-diving\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;navy-women-swimming-diving&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Navy Athletics&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/navy-women-swimming-diving-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/navy-women-swimming-diving-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-406826\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/navy-women-swimming-diving-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"navy-women-swimming-diving\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-406826\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Navy women&#8217;s team posing with trophy.
