Williams, Boston College Split

Despite missing several outstanding swimmers, the Williams College men's swimming and diving team swam past Div. I Boston College Friday night, 162-138. BC evened the score, however with Tanya Suryoutomo winning three events as the Eagles triumphed 168-138 at the Flynn Complex Pool in Chestnut Hill.

Junior David McManic paced the Ephs to victory by winning three events. McManic won the 100 backstroke in 55.10 seconds, the 200 back in 1:59.18 and the 200 IM in 2:00.86. Junior Stephen Spinelli was a double-winner for Williams, taking the 1,000 free in 10:00.11 and the 500 free in 4:49.85.

A pair of first-years also were impressive for the Ephs in victory. Norman Scott won the 200 butterfly in 1:57.74 and the 100 fly in 51.20 seconds. Tyler Bonewell was victorious in the 100 breaststroke in 1:02.85 and the 200 breaststroke in 2:13.84.

"It was a nice result, especially without our full squad," Williams head coach Steve Kuster said. "The guys did a great job, there were some people really laying it on the line during some final laps. It was a good start, but we still have a lot of things to work on."

Suryoutomo took the 100 and 200-yard backstroke events and also contributed the anchor leg of the winning 200-yard freestyle relay along with Elizabeth Byron, Caroline Byron, and Megan Hurd.

The Byron sisters also earned first and second place in the 50 and 100-yard freestyle with Elizabeth earning the win in both events.

Kelly Leahey picked up a win in the 200-yard freestlye, while Kim Garcia earned a convincing win in the 1000-yard freestyle. Torey Thelin and Carolyn Bowman finished one and two respectively in the 200-yard butterfly.

Maeve Brennan earned first place points for the women in the one-meter diving event, and Jennifer Rhines took first on the three-meter board.
