Another School Record Falls as Men’s Swim and Dive Resumes Season

BOSTON – Led by another school record in the diving competition and several top performances, the Regis College men's swimming and diving team picked up dual meet victories over Colby-Sawyer College (112-38) and Elms College (117-17) Saturday in a meet hosted by Simmons University at the Holmes Sports Center.

Liam Austin (Boston, Mass.) broke the six-dive school record in three meter diving with an overall score of 193.60, almost 40 points higher than the previous standard established last year by Michael Zammuto (Burlington, Mass.), who also earned a new personal-best score of 174.90. Austin also finished first in one meter diving with a six-dive score of 189.75, with Zammuto posting a total of 143.03.

Among the swimmers, Cody Werner (Bettendorf, Iowa) performed well in the distance events, cruising to victory in the 1000 freestyle in 11:05.64 and the 500 freestyle in 5:22.71, plus he won the 100 butterfly in 57.16 seconds. Aryaman Nagaraj (Watertown, Mass.) posted solid times of 1:59.11 in the 200 freestyle, 1:13.50 in the 100 breaststroke, and 1:02.42 in the 100 individual medley.

Capping off the meet, the quartet of Zammuto, Nagaraj, Samuel Madriz (Union, N.J.), and Werner finished the 200 freestyle relay with an overall time of 1:43.72.
