Against a program that sent 11 men to the NCAA Championships last season and entered the season ranked 22nd nationally, the George Washington men's swimming & diving team had their limbs full in Christiansburg, VA on Saturday afternoon against the Hokies.

Several members of the Buff & Blue ascended to podium honors against the staunch hosts, including senior Andrew Cho, who was victorious in the 100-yard backstroke with a time of 49.96 to put nine points on the GW scorecard. Cho also rang up four points for GW in the 200-yard version of the event, clocking in a 1:51.65.

It was the 200-yard medley relay team of Cho, first-year George Aspougalis, senior Max Forstenhaeuselr and first-year Tyler Kawakami who registered GW's first points of the day with a third place finish in the 200-yard medley. Aspougalis also touched the wall in 58.64 for third in the 100-yard breaststroke.

Reigning Atlantic 10 Most Outstanding Performer Moritz Fath finished second in the 100-free in 45.94 and third in the 200-yard freestyle in a time of 1:40.80. The senior from Germany also came in fourth in the 500 in 4:45.75.

Sophomores DH Hwang and Josh Legge finished 2-3 in the 1000-yard freestyle in 9:35.68 and 9:39.79.
