Colonials earned wins over Georgetown and American on Saturday
WASHINGTON- George Washington men's swimming and diving finished out a season sweep of District foes Saturday by claiming a pair of wins Saturday at McCarthy Pool.
Tommi Wolst, Alexander Auster, Dylan Arzoni, Jake Ortiz and Peter Nachtwey were individual winners for the Colonials, who knocked off host Georgetown and American in their return from winter break.
The Buff and Blue improved to 3-0 against crosstown competition this season, adding in a win over Howard during their fall schedule.
HIGHLIGHTS
- GW claimed both relays. Wolst, Auster, Emils Pone and Max Forstenhaeusler started the meet with a win in the 200-yard medley relay in 1:32.96, while Auster, Forstenhaeusler, Charles Sturgeon and Moritz Fath teamed up to take the 200-yard freestyle relay in 1:25.49 to close the meet.
- Wolst was a double individual winner. The senior from Germany touched first in the 100-yard breaststroke (57.85 seconds) ahead of second-place Sturgeon before adding a victory in the 200-yard individual medley in 1:52.98. He was also runner-up in the 200-yard breaststroke.
- GW put together a tremendous showing on the diving boards. Nachtwey set a pool record with his score of 352.35 in the 3-meter competition and was followed by Ortiz (309.80) and Nick Tomczyk (263.40), while Ortiz won on the 1-meter board with a score of 289.20 followed by Nachtwey's 284.90.
- Auster's victory came in the 50-yard freestyle. The senior from Canada finished in 21.35 seconds to narrowly edge Sturgeon, who picked up another second-place showing.
- GW also went 1-2 in the 100-yard freestyle with Arzoni finishing in 46.38 seconds followed by Fath.
- Fath (1,000 free), Forstenhaeusler (200 free), Pone (200 back) and James Torrez (200 fly) also notched individual runner-up finishes on the day to help the Colonials secure the sweep.
UP NEXT: GW heads to Christiansburg, Va., next Saturday for another tri-meet. This time, the Colonials will face host Virginia Tech and Cincinnati.
