FAIRFAX, VA - George Washington University swimmer Maggie Moss (Indianapolis, IN/North Central) and diver Katura Horton-Perinchief (Sandys, Bermuda / Richview Collegiate Institute (Toronto, ONT) each reset pool and GW records this weekend as the Colonials' men's and women's swimming and diving teams completed competition at the Patriot Invitational hosted by George Mason University at its Aquatic and Fitness Center.

On Sunday, Moss finished first out of 25 swimmers in the women's 200-yard backstroke (2.02.78). Two days earlier, she reset the pool record and broke her own GW record in the 100-yard backstroke when she led off the 400-individual medley relay with a time of 57.01 seconds.

Horton-Perinchief dominated the women's diving events during the meet. The reigning Atlantic 10 Performer of the Week took first place and set a pool record, Sunday, in the one-meter dive (543.05 points) two days after accomplishing the same feats in the three-meter dive (511.05 points). Horton-Perinchief's score in the three-meter dive also established a new GW record.

Junior Mark Adam (Millersville, MD/Severna Park) recorded the Colonials' best men's finish in the meet. Adam qualified for the finals and finished fifth, Saturday, in the 100-yard breaststroke (59.09 seconds).

Overall, the GW women's team placed sixth out of 11 teams in the meet while the men's squad finished seventh out of 11 teams.

Duke University's women's team and Yale University's men's team finished in first place, overall, in the meet.

GW returns to action Saturday, Dec. 4, when they travel to Norfolk, VA to face Old Dominion University. The meet begins at 12:00 p.m.
