WARRIOR SWIM TEAMS SWEEP ELIZABETHTOWN
MEN BREAK THREE RECORDS

WILLIAMSPORT, PA – The Lycoming College swimming teams hosted Elizabethtown College, Wednesday evening, for their final home meet of the season. Both teams found success with the women winning 103-87 and the men winning 115-52. The Warrior women improve to 5-3 and the men are now 6-2 overall.

The men’s team continued their assault on the program’s record books by setting three new records during the meet. Nathan DeCapria (Fr./Jersey Shore, PA; Central Mountain) set a new mark in the 100 free with a time of :48:02, defeating the defending MAC 100 free champion in the process.

DeCapria also played a role in two record-breaking relays. He teamed up with Steve Hawley (Fr./New Cumberland, PA; Trinity), Matt Thompson (Sr./Canisteo, NY; Canisteo Central), and Josh Hogan (So./Waverly, NY; Waverly) to set a new standard of 1:41.19 in the 200-medley relay. He also swam a leg of the 200-free relay, along with Hawley, Thompson, and Tim Roche (Fr./Wyndmoor, PA; Springfield). That team posted a 1:28.14 as the new record.

Hogan and Chris Mungo (Fr./Boonton, NJ; Boonton) were double-winners for the Warriors. Hogan won the 100 fly and 100 back, while Mungo won the 1000 free and 200 IM. Other event winners included Hawley in the 50 free, Dustin Long (Fr./Halifax, PA; Halifax) in the 100 breaststroke, and Stuart Olsen (Fr./Evanston, IL; Evanston Twp.) in the 500 free.

For the women’s team, three student-athletes were double-winners for Lycoming. Erin Horsley (So./Allegany, NY; Allegany) won both the 1000 free and 100 fly. Andrea Rapach (Sr./Pittsford, NY; Pittsford Mendon) won the 50 and 100 free, and Rebecca Fox (So./Middletown, NJ; Middletown) won the 200 IM and 500 free.

The Warrior swimmers are in action again on Saturday, February 1, when they travel to Lebanon Valley College for a tri-meet with the Dutchmen and FDU-Florham.
