Men’s Swimming Sends Eight to Finals at CAA Championships

FAIRFFAX, VA - William and Mary’s men’s swimming and diving team qualified eight athletes for tonight’s finals, six in the championships and two in consolations, on the last day of the Colonial Athletic Association Championships. Also, the Tribe has five athletes competing the 1,650 free, which starts in mid-afternoon, and two of those swimmers are seeded in the top race of the event.

The College opened the morning very strongly, qualifying all three athletes that swam in the 200 back for the championship finals. Sophomore Shawn Matthews (Rumson, N.J.) is the third-seed after swimming a personal-best 1:51.77 in the preliminaries, the third-fastest time in school history. Freshman Marshall Raiskin (Apopka, Fla.) is seeded seventh after swimming 1:52.55, the fourth-fastest performance all-time at the College. Sophomore David Mangini (Inver Grove Heights, Minn.) is seeded eighth after swimming 1:52.62, the fifth-best time in school history.

Sophomore Nader Amer (Yorktown, Va.) is the seventh-seed in the championship finals of the 100 free, after swimming a personal-best 46.33 in the preliminaries. That performance places him sixth in school history. Junior Nick Duda (Vienna, Va.) is also in the championship finals after swimming 46.41, the seventh-fastest time in school history.

Sophomore Jason Brisson (Richmond, Va.) is the second seed in the 200 breast after swimming 2:07.20 this morning to easily win his qualifying heat. Freshman Drew de Michaelis (Washington, D.C.) is in the consolation finals after timing 2:11.74 in preliminaries. Senior Peter King (Falls Church, Va.) qualified for the consolation finals of the 200 fly with a time of 1:56.30.

The finals of the 100 free, 200 back, 200 fly, 200 breast, the 1,650 free, 3-meter diving, and the 400 free relay are tonight starting at 6 p.m.
