SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. – The Shippensburg University men's swimming team honored its three senior swimmers in style Friday night with a 112-90 dual-meet victory over Clarion to conclude the home portion of the schedule in competition from Donald N. Miller Pool. SU swam exhibitions in the final two events of the night.
 
The Raiders posted the fastest time in nine of the 11 events contested Friday and recorded an impressive 18 times that satisfied the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) qualifying standard.
 
Seniors Jeff Beyer, Nick Bloom and Adam Fox each had at least one PSAC cut on the night. Beyer won the 1,000-yard freestyle in 10:07.28 and the 500-yard freestyle in 4:56.05. Bloom took second in the 200-yard backstroke in 2:01.36 and swam the 400-yard IM in 4:27.69. Fox touched the wall in the 50-yard freestyle in 22.81 seconds and in the 100-yard freestyle in 49.75 seconds.
 
Junior Hunter Keck won two events Friday, taking gold in the 50-yard freestyle (22.22 seconds) and the 100-yard freestyle (47.81 seconds).
 
Sophomore Andrew Hale took the 200-yard freestyle in 1:47.90, and fellow sophomore Matt Bochanski had the fastest time in the 200-yard breaststroke after touching the wall in 2:10.91.
 
One of the most impressive swims of the night came in the 400-yard IM, where sophomore Vin Salvatore notched a six-second victory with a time of 4:13.92. Salvatore had a busy Friday night; he also completed the 200-yard butterfly in 1:59.28 and the 200-yard breaststroke in 2:20.22.
 
Freshman David Bussard was triumphant in the 200-yard backstroke, posting a first-place time of 2:00.94. All three Raiders hit the PSAC standard in the event, with freshman Michael Hannig taking third in 2:03.84.
 
Junior Eric Zimmerman notched PSAC cuts in the 200-yard freestyle (1:49.01) and the 500-yard freestyle (4:59.85), while sophomore Trevor Woolwine did so in the 100-yard freestyle (47.95 seconds).
 
Shippensburg will now begin training for its signature competition of the fall – the Patriot Invitational at George Mason University – to be held November 21-23 in Fairfax, Va.
