VESTAL, N.Y. – Sophomore Elijah Lanfear won three events and Binghamton posted five other double-event winners, highlighting its swimming & diving dual meet against Bryant on Saturday afternoon at the Saunders Aquatic Center. The Bearcats won the men’s meet 185.5-114.5 but fell short in the women’s competition by a 184-116 margin.
“We are happy with how both teams competed today coming off a meet Friday night,” head coach Jerry Cummiskey said. “They have been consistently training hard now for a long stretch and we knew these couple weeks they would feel that. That just part of where we are in our training as we prepare for our invite in a few weeks. Saw some great racing and competition on the boards and liked the way they were working to make adjustments and try some new things while racing.”
Lanfear, who has now won five events in the last two meets, swept the 50 free (20.71), 100 free (46.56) and the 100 fly (49.53) against Bryant. He was also part of the first-place 400 free relay which included freshman Liam Preston, as well as juniors George Kipshidze and Liam Murphy and clocked a time of 3:08.90.
Also winning a pair of events on the men’s side were senior Ryan Cohn and juniors Xiaoyu Lin and Henry Shemet.
