GRANVILLE, Ohio (EMUEagles.com)
—Eastern Michigan University's men's swimming and diving returned to dual action against Denison University Friday, Jan. 10, and came out the victor in the afternoon tilt against the Big Red.  The 184-116 win boosts the Green and White to a record of 2-1.  
 
The Eagles won 10-of-16 events during the course of the meet, beginning with the first four events of the afternoon.  To kick off the matchup against Denison, the 200 medley relay team of Cole Bateman (Hutchinson, Minnn.-Hutchinson), Kyle Aerne (Lake Villa, Ill.-Lakes Community), Krzysztof Gilski (Dywity, Poland-Adam Mickiewicz State Secondary), and Dexter Foos (Fremont, Ohio-Fremont-Ross) hit the water to take the race in 1:32.80.
 
Following the opening relay, Kyle Lichtenberg (Clarkston, Mich.-Home School) swam a 9:37.10 in the 1000 free for another Eagle victory.  Franco Petrone (Etobicoke, Ontario-Silverthorne Collegiate Institute) claimed the second-place spot in 9:40.23.  The Green and White earned another 1-2 finish after Andrew Henry (Garner, N.C.-West Johnston) and Brian Moore (Anthem, Ariz.-Boulder Creek) touched in at 1:40.46 and 1:41.10, respectively in the 200 free. 
 
The fourth victory would come from Bateman, who won the 100 back.  The freshman was one-of-three Eagles that won multiple individual events, as he later claimed a victory in the 200 back.  Lichtenberg followed up with a win in the 500 free for his second title, beating out Petrone by a mere .04 seconds for a 4:40.01 finish.  Gilski continued to control the butterfly events, as the sophomore won the 100 fly in 50.06 and the 200 fly with a 1:51.89 mark.
 
Mike Fisher (Saline, Mich.-Saline) rounded out the individual victories, as he won the 200 breast in 2:06.77. The Eagles ended the meet with their 10th first-place finish, as the 400 free relay team of Erik Gissen (Karlstad, Sweden-Alvkullegymnasiet), Foos, Gus Everson (Sandusky, Ohio-Sandusky), and Moore finished their final event in 3:04.23.
 
The Green and White will return to Jones Natatorium Saturday, Jan. 18, when the squad will face Michigan State University and the University at Buffalo.  The meet is slated to begin at 1 p.m. and live results can be accessed through EMUEagles.com
