ATHENS, Ga. -- The Davidson Wildcat men's and women's teams both finished in second place at the 2009 CCSA Championships, as competition concluded Saturday in Athens, Ga.
The College of Charleston men and Florida Gulf Coast women won 2009 CCSA Swimming and Diving Championships Saturday afternoon on the campus of the University of Georgia at the Gabrielsen Natatorium in Athens, Ga. The Cougars picked up a total of 886 points to win the overall men's crown. The Eagles notched a total of 887 points to pick up the title.
The Davidson men's team notched 803 points to finish second, followed by Gardner-Webb with 640 points. Howard finished fourth with 279 points. VMI racked up 275 points to finish fifth, while Florida A&M rounded out the list with 106 points for the men.
“This was the culmination of a statement season for our men," head coach John Young said. "Our 15 athletes won 13 of 20 events contested – 11 with meet record performances. We had almost everyone focused on what was best for the team, and took a step forward as a program this weekend.”
The Wildcat women notched 653 points to finish second, followed by Georgia Southern with 472 points. Gardner-Webb finished fourth with 457 points, North Florida fifth (435) and College of Charleston, sixth (237). Campbell posted 190 points to finish seventh, while Radford was eighth with 128 points. Howard (122), North Carolina A&T (79)), VMI (52) and Florida A&M (42) rounded out the list for the women.
“I couldn't be more proud of our women," Young said. "Eight individual college records, every college relay record, and four meet records highlight a team effort that was exceptional. We knew Gulf Coast would be tough, and they, too, are to be commended for an outstanding weekend.”
After winning both diving events, freshman Ben Lane was named men's diver of the year, while classmate Curtis Chaney took him men's freshman of the year honors. Wildcat diving coach Aaron Hintz was named co-men's diving coach of the year.

Senior Scott Frantz won the 200 back with a school-record time of 1:48.69, and Chaney won the 100 free with a time of 45.78, seconds off the school record. Sophomore Lindsey Martin won the women's 100 free with a time of 49.67, bettering her own school record time.
Freshman Geoff Peitz won the 200 fly with a school-record time of 1:51.84, while freshman Lauren Kamperman finished seventh in the event with a new school-best time of 2:07.11.
