The William and Mary men's swimming team finished up a very successful CAA Pod Meet on Saturday evening, earning a split in the double-dual meet with a 203-144 win over host George Mason and falling 175-158 against Old Dominion.  The performance was even more impressive when taken into account that Old Dominion started the meet ahead by 18 points because the Tribe doesn't have divers, meaning that W&M actually out-swam the Monarchs 158-157.

200 Free Relay
The weekend began Friday afternoon with the 200 free relay, won by the Tribe's top team of Andrew Strait (Henrico, Va.), Luke Robbins (Charlottesville, Va.), Sidney Glass (Mechanicsville, Va.), and Stephen Fay (Herndon, Va.) in 1:23.98, almost a second faster than second place.  The team of Jake Maloy (Culpeper, Va.), Taegan Clarke (Chappaqua, N.Y.), Evan Rutherford (Newport News, Va.), and Kyle McVeigh (Jacksonville, Fla.) also finished among the top-five, taking fourth in 1:28.43.

100 Free

William and Mary now has two weeks off to prepare for its final meet of the fall, the Terrapin Cup Invitational.  The three-day event on November 17-19 will pit the Tribe against teams that in the past have included Maryland, Villanova, Connecticut, Towson, and similar-level competition.
