DETROIT, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University men's swimming and diving moved to 5-1 in duals this season as it rolled past Wayne State University, 172-101, at WSU Natatorium Saturday, Jan. 20. The Eagles, who have not lost a meet to the Warriors since the two squads met in the 2005-06 campaign, locked up their 13th victory over WSU.
After the Warriors opened the afternoon with a win in the 200 medley relay, the Eagles responded back by sweeping the 1000 freestyle. Sophomores Tanner Olmos (Clovis, Calif.-Buchanan), Parker Saladin (Buchanan. Mich.-Buchanan), and Corey Smith (Lansdale, Pa.) finished 1-2-3, respectively. Olmos turned in a season-best time of 9:43.98 to take first, while Saladin, in his first 1000 free appearance, nabbed the runner-up spot at 9:50.84. Smith rounded out the sweep at 9:54.43.
Eastern kept the sweeps alive, this time taking the top-four spots in the 200 freestyle. Sophomore Matan Segal (Lehavim, Israel-Hof HaSahron) nabbed first-place as freshman Carter Swift (Shapparton, Victoria, Australia) and sophomore Jacob Ehrman (Saline, Mich.-Saline) took second and third, respectively. Freshman Alec Hoch (Orchard Park, N.Y.-Orchard Park) turned in a season best time of 1:47.69 to take fourth.
It was a battle for first-place in the 100 backstroke as junior Tosh Kawaguchi (Cary, N.Y.-Cary) and senior Logan Burton (Chesapeake, Va.-Hickory) snagged the top-two spots. Kawaguchi placed first with a time of 49.22, while Burton followed right on his heals at 49.89 to take second.
The Green and White's winning streak was halted in the 100 breaststroke as freshmen Ben Brooks (Avon, Ohio-Avon) and Ben Gingher (Boalsburg, Pa.-State College Area) were slotted at second and third with times of 57.89 and 58.24, respectively.
Sophomores Alex Arrieta (Miami, Fla.-Doral Acadmey Center) and Matthew Martin (Brecksville, Ohio-Brecksville Broadview Heights), and senior Connor Johnson (Fort Bragg, N.C.-Terry Sanford) tried to get Eastern Michigan back on track by sweeping the 200 butterfly, before Wayne State took another first-place, this time in the 50 free.
The Eagles were a force to be reckoned with on the springboard as they won both the 1- and 3-meter dives. In the 1-meter, EMU swept the event as sophomore Noah Galluzzo (Mexico, N.Y.) took first with a final score of 329.18, while junior Tom Gillis (Halifax, Nova Scotia-Citadel) and freshman Al'x Pierre (London, Ontario-St. Thomas Aquinas) battled for second. Gillis just edged out Pierre with a final score of 321.90 as the freshman finished the event at 321.60. In the 3-meter, senior Peter Rusenas (Naperville, Ill.-Naperville Central) nabbed the top spot with a final score of 312.61, while Pierre ended the afternoon with a second-place finish with a score of 288.61.
Returning to the pool, Swift fought off a pair of Warriors to take first-place in the 100 free with a time of 46.58, before Segal took the top spot in the 200 back with a time of 1:49.07.
In the 200 breast, the Eagles saw a pair of swimmers in the top-three in the form of Gingher and sophomore Aaron Hendry (Evans, Ga.-Evans). Gingher turned in a time of 2:03.76, good for first-place, as Hendry clocked in at 2:06.86 for third-place.
Making their 500 free debut this season, Burton and Kawaguchi both had outstanding showings as they headed a sweep of the top-four spots. Burton took first with a time of 4:36.52 to own the ninth fastest time in the Mid-American Conference and fastest 500 free time this season for the Eagles. Kawaguchi followed close behind at 4:37.65 to take second, while Arrieta and Ehrman rounded out the sweep at third and fourth, respectively.
Eastern continued to pull away from the Wayne State as Johnson took first-place in the 100 fly and sophomore Mark Krusinski (Brecksville, Ohio-Brecksville Broadview Heights) took third at 51.50.
In the final individual event of the afternoon, the Eagles posted four of the fastest times in the pool, but elected to defer points since they were well ahead in team standings. Junior Ricky Perez (Greenfield, Wis.-Greenfield) touched in first at 1:56.71 while Saladin turned in a season-best time of 1:56.76 for the second fastest time in the pool.
An EMU cohort of Burton, Segal, Swift, and Brooks posted the fastest 200 free relay at 1:24.81 to cap the afternoon.
Eastern returns to action next weekend as it travels to Oxford, Ohio to take on MAC foes, Miami Saturday, Jan. 27. Action between the two squads is set to begin at 1 p.m.
