Swimming competes at Bucknell Sprint Invite

The AU swimming and diving teams competed at the Bucknell Sprint Invite over the weekend, picking up a victory in the 200 meter Free style relay as well as four top-four finishes overall in the meet.

In an ultra-close 200-meter freestyle relay race, the foursome of Chris Leggett, Matt Bank, Matt Pelletier and Joe Coronato were able to claim victory with a time of 1:27.49, a margin of only .01 seconds over second place Bucknell.

Leggett, Bank and Pelletier also teamed up with Mike DiDonato to place second in the 200 meter medley relay with a time of 1:40.18.

On the women's side, the 400 freestyle relay of Laura Uttley, Kaitlin Moughty, Erin Devlin and Meghan Thiel finished with a time of 4:09.41, which was good enough for second in the race.

Uttley, Devlin and Thiel later combined with Michelle Risinger to take third in the 200-meter medley relay with a time of 1:55.02.

The Eagles have a two-week break before returning to action at the three-day George Mason Invitational starting on Friday, Nov. 17.
