YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com)—Eastern Michigan University's men's swimming and diving team handily defeated Wayne State University, 180-118, Jan. 24 in Jones Natatorium. The Green and White now holds a 5-1 (1-0 MAC) record, while Wayne falls to 5-2.
The Eagles won 10-of-16 events in the evening's dual meet. The number would have stood at 11 victories, but the team had built up such a substantial lead that it swam the entirety of the final event, the 400 freestyle relay, as an exhibition. Had the time counted for the meet, the team of Cole Bateman (Hutchinson, Minn.-Hutchinson), Oded Ivry (Haifa, Israel-The Hebrew Reali School), Dexter Foos (Fremont, Ohio-Fremont-Ross), and Andrew Henry (Garner, N.C.-West Johnston) would have won with a time of 3:03.39.
Beating his previously set team season-best times in the backstroke events, Bateman won both the 100 and 200 back for the squad. The freshman finished the 100 back in 50.30, which moves him up to eighth place on the all-time top-10 performance list. He then followed up with a 1:49.04 victory in the 200 back, which lands him in the sixth spot for the event.
Henry also claimed a pair of victories, as the sophomore led the group of Eagles that swam to a top-three finish in the 1000 free. Henry finished well ahead of the rest of the swimmers, winning comfortably in 9:38.17. Marcin Rzyski (Olsztyn, Poland-Liceum Ogolnoksztalcace #4) was runner-up in the race while Sean Tento (Seattle, Wash.-O'Dea) took third. Finally, Henry won the 100 free in 45.23, finishing just ahead of runner-up Foos.
Foos would go on to win the 50 free, setting a team season-best performance of 20.74 in the event. The senior finished a shade under half a second ahead of Ivry, who notched a second-place finish.
Three other Eagles claimed individual victories in between the lane lines, as Mike Fisher (Saline, Mich.-Saline) won the 200 breast in 2:06.23 and Brian Moore (Anthem, Ariz.-Boulder Creek) swam a 4:36.17 to take the 500 free, followed by a second-place performance from Rzyski. Senior Aaron Lawson (Middletown, Ohio-Middletown) garnered his first victory of the 2013-14 season in the 100 fly.
The diving team continued to shine for the Green and White. Dakoda Johnson (Greenwood, Ind.-Center Grove) claimed victory on the 1-meter springboard with a score of 281.32, and was barely bested by teammate Sage Stephens (Warren, Ill.-Warren) on the 3-meter springboard, as the pair went 1-2 with scores of 309.61 and 308.70.
The Eagles will jump right back into the pool tomorrow, Jan. 25, when they take on No. 11 Ohio State University and Mid-American Conference opponent Ball State University. The meet is scheduled to start at 1 p.m. and live results will be available through EMUEagles.com.
