Men’s Swimming Sets Pool Record in Win Over Moravian

WESTMINSTER, Md. – The team of sophomore Josh Morgan, senior Christian Walker, freshman Niall Navarra and freshman Zack Duck set a Harlow Pool record in the 800-yard freestyle relay to highlight an 81-11 home win for the McDaniel College men's swimming team over Moravian on Saturday.

Morgan, Walker, Navarra and Duck combined for a final time of 7:26.57, which broke the previous record time of 7:36.19 set by Ursinus in 1992. 

The Green Terror (3-5) secured three straight wins for the first time since 2016-17. They defeated Ferrum, Hood and Salisbury during that streak.

McDaniel opened the meet with a close win in the 200-yard medley relay. Freshman Connor Woodward, senior Mark Sanelli, senior Aleksei Dudley and sophomore Dimitri Raush-Gernet clocked a final time of 2:00.64, besting the Greyhounds (0-4) by a single second. Duck and Raush-Gernet finished first and second in the 1000-yard freestyle with times of 11:17.07 and 12:39.14. 

Sophomore Ethan Gell took first place in the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 2:04.11, barely beating teammate Dudley by .51 seconds. Morgan won the 50-yard freestyle at 23.46 seconds, and Navarra comfortably took the 100-yard individual medley with a time of 59.70 seconds, the only swimmer in the event to finish with a time under a minute. 

Gell won his second event of the day by clocking a final time of 55.67 seconds in the 100-yard butterfly, finishing ahead of teammate Navarra, who registered a time of 1:08.94. 

Morgan and Walker finished well ahead of the pack in the 100-yard freestyle with times of 52.94 seconds and 54.13 seconds, respectively. Dudley snuck out a win in the 500-yard freestyle, finishing two seconds ahead of second place with a time of 5:34.22.

Gell took home another win in the 100-yard backstroke before the record-breaking attempt in the 800-yard freestyle relay. McDaniel won all 11 men's events in the meet.

The Green Terror travel to Lancaster, PA to take on Centennial Conference rival Franklin & Marshall for their next meet on Dec. 6 at 5 pm.
