Both men and women took home victories at Terrier Invitational
BOSTON — In the final competition of the month, the Eagles won the Terrier Invitational on the men's and women's sides in one of the most successful mid-season performances in program history.
The men won with 1,671 points, while the women earned 1,552 points, with the Eagles defeating Boston University, Georgetown, UMass, Fairfield, and Northeastern in swimming and diving events over the three day meet.
In total, the Eagles logged 65 performances that now rank in the school's top-ten all time. 23 of those represented new school records, including new bests in both the men's and women's 400 Freestyle Relays, and thirteen combined records from two swimmers alone.
Freshman Megan Kramer added to her breakout season, winning five events and setting seven school records. Kramer now ranks first in Boston College history in the 200 Freestyle (1:49.91), 500 Freestyle (4:49.88), 1000 Freestyle (10:01.60), 1650 Freestyle (16:37.46), and 400 Individual Medley (4:19.25). In the preliminary rounds on Friday and Saturday, Kramer broke the program record in the 500 Freestyle and the 400 Individual Medley, only to break her own record in the finals sessions those nights.
Junior Zachary Szmania set three program records and earned a US Open cut and an NCAA B Cut with his performance in the 1650 Freestyle, swimming a 15:23.38, the fastest time in school history by over seven seconds. He also set new records in the 500 Free (4:26.64) and the 1000 Free (9:20.16).
Sophomore Kyle Floyd set two individual records of his own and also contributed on the record-breaking relay teams in the 400 Free relay and 800 Free relay. He shattered the marks in the 100 Fly and 200 Fly prelims, only to break his own records in the finals rounds, swimming a 47.94 in the 100 and a 1:46.73 in the 200. His time in the 200 Fly earned him the win and a US Open cut.
