11/20/2025 9:16:00 PM | Men's Swimming and Diving
GW swimming and diving finished a competitive first day at both the Wolfpack Elite Invitational and Navy Invitational on Thursday. The Revolutionaries opened Day One with 27 finals appearances split between Greensboro and Annapolis. Â
Holden Wheeler led the way for diving at Navy with a third-place finish in the 1-meter dive (280.15), followed up closely by Ben Bradley in fourth (270.60), Michael Wood in fifth(269.30), and Christian Merturi in seventh (249.95).
Four individual B-Final appearances highlighted the GW swimmers' night in Greensboro. Colleen MacWilliams' victory in the 400-yard IM B-final (9th place overall) was the top finish for the Buff & Blue, as Ava Topolewski (13th/200-yard free), Andres Brooks (15th/400-yard IM) and Natalie Sens (16th/100-yard breast) also made appearances in a top-two heat. The best two relays for GW were a pair of 11th-place finishes in the men's and women's 200-yard freestyle relays to finish the night.
GW broke seven program top-10 times on Thursday, as Sens (3rd/100-yard breast), Matija Redjenovic (4th/200-yard free), Joselle Mensah (5th/100-breast), Alessandro Borsato (6th/100-yard breast), Topolewski (6th/200-yard free), Ganesh Sivaramakrishnan (8th/100-yard fly), and Eldad Zamir (10th/100-yard breast) each cracked into the GW record books.
