ANNAPOLIS, Md. – The Bucknell men's swimming & diving team remained fifth in the team standings at the ECAC Championships through Saturday night at Navy's Lejeune Hall.

The Bison, who had a pair of relay teams finish fifth on the ECAC Championships' second day, currently boast 178 points. Navy (454), Columbia (286) and Marist (283) are the top three teams.

The 200 medley squad of Sam Miller, Ryaan Hatoum, Liam Pitt and Matt Mills and the 800 freestyle relay team of Nate Romanowski, Matt McGoey, Carter Weiland and Alan Flower both placed fifth.

Individually, Pitt and Hatoum were Bucknell's standouts. Pitt took sixth in the 100 butterfly while Hatoum went eighth in the 100 breaststroke. Both clocked a program top-10 time during the preliminaries; Pitt posted a time of 49.13, tying his second-place mark set at the 2019 Patriot League Championships, while Hatoum claimed the sixth spot in the Bison annals with a time of 55.96.
