Men’s Swimming and Diving takes commanding lead at TCCC Invite

BRISTOL, R.I. – The Roger Williams University Men's Swimming and Diving team stands in a strong position after the first day of the TCCC Invite. The Hawks have accumulated 265 points, which puts them in great shape with a 183 point lead over the second place team from Colby-Sawyer College.

The 200-yd Medley Relay saw both the Hawks teams placing first and second, with the team of #Peter Walerysiak# (Bristol, Conn.), #Teddy Swanson# (Glastonbury, Conn.), #Zach Gillespie# (New Preston, Conn.), and #Michael Nappi# (Sherman, Conn.) winning the event. Teammates #Austin Kelly# (Portland, Conn.) and #Kevin Danaher# (Watertown, Conn.) would go one-two in the 500-yd freestyle event as well. The Hawks would take first through fifth in impressive fashion in the 50-yd Freestyle, with Phil Jacques (Durham, Maine) winning the event.

The Hawks put on a strong showing in the opening day which relieves a lot of pressure going into Saturday's events. Competition will resume tomorrow morning at 10 a.m.
