Men's Swimming Rolls Past Red Devils

COLLEGEVILLE, Pa. – The Ursinus College men's swimming team opened Centennial Conference competition with an impressive 117-84 victory over Dickinson.

Jacob Menzer was a double winner for the Bears, while Daniel Mueser and Ryan Carkhuff were each involved in a pair of first-place relays in addition to grabbing an individual victory.

Mueser and Carkhuff were part of the winning 400 medley relay, which also included Michael Prior and Maxwell Valeriano; that quartet opened the meet with a mark of 3:35.03 to get Ursinus off to a fast start.

Liam White followed with a dominating swim in the 1000 free, claiming top prize by more than 11 seconds with a clocking of 10:17.59.

Menzer picked up the first of his double with a 1:44.71 in the 200 free, where teammate Jared Krawetz was runner-up at 1:49.05.

Mueser continued the Bears' run of form with a first-place performance in the 50 free, where his 21.63 was more than a half-second faster than the Red Devils' runner-up.

Carkhuff came up with a victory in the 100 free, clocking a 48.11 to lead a 1-2 finish with rookie Ryan Schreffler in tow.

Michael Prior grabbed his customary first place in the 200 back with a 1:55.18.

Menzer headlined another 1-2 finish with Krawetz in the 500 free, posting a 4:54.86. He then joined Schreffler, Carkhuff, and Mueser to log the fastest time in the 400 free relay (3:12.93), though the victory did not count due to exhibition scoring.

Samuel Taffet turned in second-place finishes in both the 200 IM (2:00.53) and 200 breast (2:13.94).

The Bears head to the Main Line for a showdown with Swarthmore next Saturday.
