Smyers was second to <strong>Ava Topolewski<\/strong> in the mile, the freshman\u2019s winning time of 16:27.78 setting a conference record.

This time, she went 2:11.27 to win, taking down the record that had stood since <strong>Lauren Beaudreau<\/strong> of Richmond in 2009.<\/p>\n<p>Clabeaux was second in the 200 IM.

De Jong took home second in the 100 free, Murtaugh third in the 200 fly.<\/p>\n<p>Richmond started the meet by setting a meet record in the 200 medley relay, the squad of <strong>Katelyn Pennell, Sara Greene,<\/strong> Fuller and <strong>Lauren Medlin<\/strong> going 1:39.30. Richmond finished no better than third in any of the other relays. Pennell finished third in the 100 back.<\/p>\n<p>Duquesne produced the female diver of the meet in <strong>Amy Read,<\/strong> who won 1-meter. She was second on 3-meter, behind the rally of <strong>Millie Hafferty,<\/strong> the Fordham grad student finishing fourth in prelims before getting gold. <strong>Haley Scholer<\/strong> finished third in the 200 back.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Clare Culver<\/strong> added points for the Rams in second in the 500 free and third in the mile. <strong>Ainhoa Martin<\/strong> finished second in the 200 breast and fourth in the 200 IM. <strong>Leire Martin<\/strong> was third in the 400 IM.<\/p>\n<p>Davidson\u2019s Stanley was second in the 100 fly and the 200 fly to go with 200 IM bronze.<\/p>\n<p>The George Washington men\u2019s team showed similar dominance across the board at the men&#8217;s Atlantic 10 Championships. Five men won titles, led by two each from <strong>Marek Osina, Connor Rodgers, Djurdje Matic <\/strong>and <strong>Karol Mlynarczyk.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Matic and Rodgers accounted for two meet records each. After finishing second to teammate <strong>Matthew Whelan<\/strong> in the 50 free (19.74 to 19.81), Matic won his third straight 100 fly title, lowering his meet record to 45.76. He\u2019s .04 off the conference record he set in 2021. Matic also tied the conference record in winning the 100 free in 43.42. It evens the mark held by St. Bonaventure\u2019s <strong>Viacheslav Shuchukin<\/strong> from 2014.<\/p>\n<p>Rodgers led the definitive statement on GW\u2019s dominance. The sophomore won the 400 IM in 3:46.25, the different swimmer from GW to lower the record in as many years. Osina had won it last year, taking the record from <strong>Emils Pone.<\/strong> Osina finished second, followed by teammates <strong>Bode Ringenbach<\/strong> and <strong>Mikhail Lyubavskiy.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Rodgers also set the conference record in the 200 fly with a time of 1:44.47. Osina repeated as the 200 IM champion, a spot ahead of Ringenbach. He also won the 200 breast on the meet\u2019s final day. Mlynarczyk swept the backstroke events, taking the 100 in a 1-2-3 with teammates <strong>Ryan Patterson<\/strong> and <strong>Ganesh Sivaramakrishnan,<\/strong> and the 200 with Patterson third. Whelan was third in the 100 fly and 100 free. <strong>Philip Moldovanu<\/strong> was second in the mile and third in the 500. <strong>Preston Lin<\/strong> was second in the 100 breast.<\/p>\n<p>The only surprise was that the dominance in the relays wasn\u2019t more decisive, thanks in part to a DQ in the 400 medley relay, where the Colonials had been the top seed by some five seconds. They had set a conference record in the 200 medley with the foursome of Mlynarczyk, Lin, Matic and Sivaramakrishnan in 1:25.69. The Colonials also won the 800 free and 200 free relays.<\/p>\n<p>Fordham ended that streak in impressive fashion in the concluding 400 free relay. The quartet of <strong>Christian Taylor, Alex Wilhelm, Paris Raptis <\/strong>and <strong>Taras Zherebetskyy<\/strong> dropped nearly six seconds off their seed, and Zherebetskyy\u2019s anchor leg of 43.43 was the fastest in the field to recoup a deficit and edge GW by .09. Raptis was the Rams\u2019 standout, winning the 100 breast. He was second in the 100 fly and fourth in the 200 fly. He swam fly on the winning 400 medley relay, with Taylor, <strong>Noah Althoff<\/strong> and Zherebetskyy. Zherebetskyy finished second in the 100 free. Taylor was third in the 50.<\/p>\n<p>The Atlantic 10 Championships Men&#8217;s Most Outstanding Performer and Most Outstanding Rookie went to Davidson\u2019s <strong>Dylan Felt.<\/strong> He won the 500 free on the meet\u2019s second day in an NCAA B cut of 4:20.02, then set the conference record in the mile by going 15:09.08. It downs a record that has been held since 2015 by UMass\u2019s <strong>Alessandro Bomprezzi<\/strong> at 15:13.69. (GW\u2019s Moldovanu was also under the mark at 15:09.60.) Felt also finished second in the 200 free.<\/p>\n<p>George Mason\u2019s <strong>Tate Anderson<\/strong> led the Patriots to second place in the team standings. He won the 200 free in 1:36.37, just .06 up on Felt. Anderson was second in the 200 back and third in the 200 IM.<\/p>\n<p>UMass\u2019s <strong>Tommy Cotner<\/strong> was named the Most Outstanding Male Diver. He won 1-meter and was third in 3-meter. St. Bonaventure\u2019s <strong>Ben Giera<\/strong> had the reverse finishes.<\/p>\n<p>Bonnies\u2019 <strong>Max Murray<\/strong> finished second in the 500 free and third in the 1,650. <strong>Alexander Behr<\/strong> was second in the 200 fly.
