Colonials dropped Howard on Senior Day at Smith Center Pool
WASHINGTON- George Washington men's swimming and diving had plenty to celebrate Saturday at Charles E. Smith Pool.
After honoring their seven seniors and unveiling their 2018 Atlantic 10 Championship banner, the Colonials rolled past Howard, 161-64, in their lone home meet of the season.
Peter Nachtwey broke his own program record for 3-meter diving with a score of 387.23 on the way to a sweep of the diving events, while Tommi Wolst, Dylan Arzoni, Moritz Fath and Alexander Auster were also double winners for the Buff and Blue against the crosstown Bison.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Nachtwey smashed his previous 3-meter record of 362.63, set on Oct. 21, 2017 against Boston College. The sophomore diver posted a score of 298.35 to win on the 1-meter board.
- Fath and Auster tied for first in the 100-yard freestyle in 47.08 seconds. Fath also picked up a victory in the 1,000-yard freestyle (9:36.61), while Auster won the 50-yard freestyle (21.27 seconds).
- Arzoni edged out teammate Youssef Ragab to win the 200-yard freestyle in 1:42.89 and also claimed the 100-yard butterfly in 50.89 seconds. The first-year from England teamed with Auster, Emils Pone and Charles Sturgeon for a win in the meet-opening 200-yard medley relay (1:33.55), as well.
- In his final home meet, Wolst showcased his versatility with victories in the 200-yard individual medley (1:54.04) and 100-yard backstroke (51 seconds).
- Emils Pone earned GW's other victory in the 500-yard freestyle (4:44.45).
- The Colonials showcased their depth, sweeping the top three places in the 1,000 free, 200 free, 50 free, 200 IM and 500 free.
- It was the final home appearance for Auster, Wolst, Jarrod Hendricks, Patrick Lersch, Josh Monacelli, Jake Ortiz and Nicolas Reeves.
- GW's new banner joined the one honoring the 2017 A-10 Championship at Smith Center Pool. The Colonials also unveiled a new NCAA appearances banner updated to reflect Gustav Hokfelt's participation at last year's national championship.
UP NEXT: GW wraps up its fall slate next weekend at the Queens University Fall Frenzy in Charlotte, N.C. The three-day meet begins Friday.
WATCH THIS: Hear from head coach Brian Thomas and Wolst after the home victory.
