NEWARK, DE-- The last time the Rider men's swimming and diving team had lost a dual meet, it was to the hands of Delaware and La Salle in Newark two years ago this week. This afternoon, the Broncs exacted revenge with convincing wins over both squads.
Junior Zack Molloy (Toms River/Toms River HS North) topped his 2014 showing by collecting three wins in the 100 free (46.10), 200 free (1:39.44), and in the 400 free relay with sophomore Vincent Gibbons (North Brunswick), and seniors Matthan-Matthew Martir (Severn, MD/Old Mill) and older brother William Molloy (Toms River/Toms River HS North) with a time of 3:05.87.
For the women, the performance of the day came from freshman diver Meg Tomayko (Murfreesboro, TN/Siegel), who won the 1m dive (227.35). Sophomore Breanne Hatter (Lincroft/Middletown HS South) finished second in the 3m dive (222.20). Redshirt freshman swimmer Natalie Carter (Yucaipa, CA/Yucaipa) finished second in the 200 free (1:58.91) and 200 back (2:07.78).
Freshman Justin Carey (Landenberg, PA/Avon Grove) continued his standout freshman campaign by winning the 100 back (49.46), 200 back (1:49.70), 100 butterfly (49.45), and teaming up with Gibbons, Martir, and senior Zach Mabin (Hamilton/Steinert) to take the 200 medley relay (1:33.37).
Senior Sam Cramer (Escondido, CA/San Pasqual) claimed stake in the 500 free (4:40.69) and 1000 free (9:33.08). Freshman Cole May (Columbia, MD/Oakland Mills) won the 200 butterfly (1:54.59) by a hair over sophomore Griffin Hutton (Hamilton/Hamilton HS West), who finished with a time of 1:54.85. Sophomore Joseph Warker (Reading, PA/Wilson) took the 1m dive (264.50) while sophomore Lucas Musselman (Timonium, MD/Loyola Blakefield) took second in the 100 back (51.71) and 200 IM (1:55.84).
