LEWISBURG, Pa. – The Bucknell men's swimming & diving team went 2-1 at its quad meet on Saturday afternoon at Kinney Natatorium.

The Bison topped American (224-75) and Lafayette (221-67) by commanding margins but fell to Navy, winner of the past 15 Patriot League Championships, 210-84. They totaled 10 top-three finishes at the meet and improved to 2-3 (2-2 Patriot League) on the season.

Charlie McFarland, Jack Rose, Sam Sweeney and Matt McGoey teamed for Bucknell's lone first-place finish, winning the 200 freestyle relay with a time of 1:26.58. McGoey added second- (200 IM) and third- (200 backstroke) place finishes in individual events while McFarland and Rose were also members of the third-place 200 medley relay team.

Liam Pitt was a standout performer for the Bison, scoring runner-up finishes in the 50 freestyle and 100 butterfly and a third-place effort in the 100 freestyle. Chadd Cummings took second in the 100 breaststroke and swam the breaststroke leg for the third-place 200 medley relay team.

In the 1-meter dive, Garrett Sommer moved to sixth (261.35) from seventh (259.73) in the Bucknell annals. His score of 241.05 in the 3-meter dive would have been good for 10th in school history if he didn't already own the seventh-best mark (261.45).

The Bison next host the Bucknell Invitational from Friday, Nov. 16 to Sunday, Nov. 18 at Kinney Natatorium.
