LEWISBURG, Pa. — Two event wins, including a 1-2 finish in men's diving, highlighted Davidson's first day at the Bucknell Invitational.
Both of Friday's wins came from freshmen men, as Dylan Felt won the 500 free in 4:28.23, after also qualifying first during prelims. Then diver James Gourlay won the 3-meter competition with a score of 294.00, while teammate Ben Cutforth was second (290.85).
Davidson diving coach Greg Ferrucci said Gourlay and Cutforth both like putting on a show, and they did that Friday.
"Once they both realized they were going to sweep, it was fun watching them realize they only had to compete against each other," said Ferrucci.
Other top finishes for the Davidson men included the 400 medley relay team of Liam McDonough, Andrew Schou, Miles Charles and Felt, which finished fourth (3:18.21). Felt, Ben McClain, Guil Ware and Ian Brann swam sixth in the 200 free relay (1:22.23).
Third place was the top finish for the Davidson women, as Abby Francis, Martha Tripsa, Shelby Stanley and Addy Donaldson swam third in the 200 free relay (1:33.26).
Tripsa took fourth in the 50 free (23.55), while Annica Valmassei was fourth in 1M diving (245.85). Kate Pottle took fifth in the 500 free (4:56.88) and Stanley was sixth in the 200 IM (2:02.93). Leah Sandock, Anna Newman, Stanley and Francis placed sixth in the 400 medley relay with a time of 3:48.04.
Other top-eight finishes went to Sylvia Stewart-Bates in the 500 (7th, 4:58.82), Francis in the 200 IM (8th, 2:09.77) and Anna Jepson in diving (208.80).
Through Friday's action, the Davidson men are third in the team standings with 266.50 points, while the women are fifth (285).
