GENEVA, Ohio — Two more Davidson program records fell — and another was improved upon — on Saturday, the final day of the Atlantic 10 Championships at the SPIRE Institute.

Both Davidson teams finished fifth in the team standings, with the women placing fifth among 11 teams, and the men fifth out of eight. The Wildcats secured two individual awards as well. Shelby Stanley earned Most Outstanding Rookie Performer, and coach John Young was named Women's Coach of the Year.

Stanley and Crossan Cooper earned bronze Saturday while setting new Davidson marks. Cooper earned it in the 1,650-yard freestyle (15:35.15), while Stanley took over the top spot in the 200 butterfly (2:00.07).

Additionally, Sarah Helen Shepherd improved on her own record in the 200 backstroke with a fourth-place finish, touching the wall in 1:58.26.

The top place-finish of the day came in three-meter diving, as Davidson's Daniel Valmassei, the A-10 one-meter champion, took silver (317.20).

The women's 400 freestyle relay team of Siena Senn, Stanley, Shepherd and Abby Francis took bronze (3:22.94), and the men's 400 free relay of Walter Dauksher, Kevin Andrews, Patrick Kelly and Brian Hynes placed fourth (3:00.57).

Francis earned fourth in the 100 free (50.56), and Dauksher was fifth in the men's 100 (44.96).

Davidson had two in the top eight of the women's 200 breaststroke, as Isabella McElrath and Hannah Gould placed seventh and eighth, respectively, with times of 2:19.42 and 2:21.

The men's 200 fly had Will Tabor (5th, 1:48.96) and Hynes (7th, 1:49.13) in the A finals, and Mitchell Stanek took seventh in the 200 breast (2:02.23).
