ANNAPOLIS, Md. – The Bucknell men's swimming & diving team had three individuals and one relay team capture silver medals on the second day of the ECAC Championships, which wrapped up on Saturday night at Lejeune Hall.

All-Patriot League First Team members Chris Fabian (100 backstroke), John Gehrig (100 butterfly) and Chris Kopac (400 IM) all raced to runner-up showings, helping the Bison rise to third in the team standings with 244.5 points, 4.5 shy of second-place Columbia.

In addition, Kopac teamed with Sean Quinn, Alec Baker and Ed Park for a silver showing in the 800 freestyle relay.
