ANNAPOLIS, Md. - George Washington men's swimming & diving faced an early test Friday night, battling quality competition in a quad meet at Navy's Lejeune Hall.
George Aspougalis claimed an individual win in the 100-yard breaststroke (:55.41) to pace the Colonials, who knocked off Johns Hopkins (166-126) but fell to the host Midshipmen (199-94) and Towson (165-133).
HIGHLIGHTS:
- The Buff and Blue flexed their sprinting strength in the final event of the night with Max Forstenhaeusler, Tyler Kawakami, Andrew Cho and Moritz Fath teaming up for a win in the 400-yard freestyle relay in 3:03.81.
