YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com)--Eastern Michigan University's men's swimming and diving team completed the first day of the EMU Invitational. At the end of the day's events, EMU stands in second-place with 331 points, trailing Oakland University's 343 points. Wayne State University is in third with 184 points, while Ball State University is in fourth with 138 points.
The meet opened up with a first and second-place finish in the 1-meter dive, as freshman Alex Chan (Toronto, Ontario-Neil McNeil Catholic S.S.) and junior Sage Stephens (Warren, Ill.-Warren) took the event with scores of 331.28 and 287.70, respectively.
The Eagles consistently placed swimmers in the top-three of their respective events, as junior Mike Fisher (Saline, Mich.-Saline) and sophomore Chris Hodges (Lincolnshire, Ill.-Stevenson) finished second and third in the 200 breast while juniors Franco Petrone (Etobicoke, Ontario-Silverthorne Collegiate Institute) and Brian Moore (Anthem, Ariz.-Boulder Creek) nabbed third in the 1650 and 100 free.
Two more first-place performances were turned out by the Green and White, as sophomore Krzysztof Gilski (Dywity, Poland-Adam Mickiewicz S.S.) swam a 1:48.86 in the 200 fly and the 400 free relay team of sophomore Andrew Henry (Garner, N.C.-West Johnson), seniors Dexter Foos (Fremont, Ohio-Fremont-Ross) and Gus Everson (Sandusky, Ohio-Sandusky), and Moore finished in 2:58.99, which broke the pool record, previously set at 2:59.70. The record stood for 21 years before the quartet managed to top it.
The EMU Invitational will continue Saturday, Dec. 7 at 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. in Jones Natatorium.
