DAY THREE RESULTS
COMPLETE MEET RESULTS

GAMBIER, OHIO – West Chester University dominated the mile swim in addition to posting three NCAA B-Cut times and rewriting the record book with six Top 10 efforts on the final day of the Total Performance Invitational inside the Steer Aquatic Center on the campus of Kenyon College Saturday evening.
 
Paul Demesy (Saint Ulrich, France) won the 1,650-yard Freestyle with a time of 15 minutes, 20.31 seconds. However, he was followed to the wall by teammates Szymon Kapala (Olsztyn, Poland) and Marti Rosell Diez (L'Albiol, Spain) in second and third, respectively. Danny Dunigan (Lansdale, PA North Penn) was sixth. Kapala touched the wall in 15:41.18, wich was good for a B-cut time and seventh all-time in school history. Diez touched in 15:42.87 which also was a B-cut time and is ninth all-time at WCU.
 
Till Schroeder (Wiesbaden, Germany) also hit a B-cut time in the 100 free. He was runner-up overall in the race, but his time of 44.42 is the third-best in school history. Schroeder and Diez made up half of the 400 free relay team that placed fourth in the final event of the meet. Noah Shand (Brighton, Mich./Brighton) and Kolos Nagy (Szazhalombatta, Hungary) made up the rest of that foursome.
 
Bartosz Brzozowski (Warsaw, Poland) placed third in the 200 backstroke. But, more importantly, his time of 1:49.88 is the fourth-best at the school. Augustus Miller (Pittsburgh, PA North Allegheny) was ninth in the 200 back as well, touching the wall in 1:52.05.
 
Kolos Nagy (Szazhalombatta, Hungary) placed sixth in the 200 butterfly with a time of 1:50.17 that is the 10th-best at WCU. Teammate Nathan Noel (Destrehan, LA Destrehan) won the B-Final in a time that was just .07 seconds slower than Nagy's time in the A-Final. Noel's 1:50.24 would have been the 10th-best at WCU had Nagy not swam 1:50.17 in the A-Final.
 
Kai Hang (Pennsburg, PA Upper Perkiomen) placed fifth in the 200 breaststroke. His time of 2:02.73 is eighth all-time at West Chester.
 
West Chester finished third overall in the team standings accumulating 1,291 points. Host Kenyon was first with 1,855, and Carnegie Mellon University was second with 1,506.5. Case Western Reserve University was fourth, right behind West Chester, with 1,120.5 points while Hope College was fifth with 861.5 points. SUNY-Geneseo and Lindsay Wilson College rounded out the team standings.
 
This concludes the fall semester portion of the men's swimming team's schedule. They will return to the pool in January when they head to the Pidgeon Memorial and the PSAC Last Chance Meet on Jan. 17 in Newville, Pa.
