COMPLETE RESULTS

BLOOMSBURG, Pa. - Redshirt junior Kyle Dix (Schwenksville, Pa./Perkiomen Valley) made a triumphant return to the pool as he posted three victories on Friday night but it wasn't enough as the Bloomsburg University men's swimming team dropped a 115-90 decision to visiting West Chester University at the Nelson Field House Pool. Junior Jordan Wyant (Mechanicsburg, Pa./Trinity) and redshirt sophomore Matt Rocchi (Philadelphia, Pa./Archbishop Ryan) also posted individual victories while freshman Logan Baker (Pottstown, Pa./Owen J. Roberts), junior Colin Bauer (Pottstown, Pa./Owen J. Roberts), and sophomore Collin Hummel (Lewisburg, Pa./Lewisburg) joined Dix in a meet-ending win in the 200-yard freestyle relay.

After missing all of last season with an injury, Dix posted wins in both the 50-yard freestyle (21.00) and the 100-yard freestyle (46.33) on Friday night. He then swam a 21.28 opening leg in the 200-yard freestyle relay which gave the Huskies nearly a one-second lead after 50 yards. The foursome posted a time of 1:25.97 with Baker (22.25), Bauer (21.24), and Hummel (21.20) able to stretch the lead over West Chester's quartet for an 89-second victory.

Wyant won the 200-yard freestyle by posting a time of 1:45.20 while Rocchi was able to hold off West Chester's Jarod Anderson by nearly four-tenths of a second to win the 100-yard breaststroke with a time of 59.60.

All told, the Huskies posted 20 Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) qualifying marks on Friday night. Seven different Huskies - Dix, Wyant, Rocchi, Baker, senior Philip Nawn (Media, Pa./Penncrest), junior Corey Smith (Lansdale, Pa./North Penn), and freshman Jace Fry (Palmyra, Pa./Lower Dauphin) each qualified in two different events. Hummel, Bauer, freshman Pat Agnew (Pottstown, Pa./Pottsgrove), redshirt junior Nathan Mihalko (Windber, Pa./Richland), junior Doug Boehme (Blue Bell, Pa./Buxmont Christian Academy), and sophomore Noah Cancro (Limerick, Pa./Spring-Ford) each qualified for the conference meet in a single event.

Bloomsburg will jump right back into the pool on Saturday afternoon when it makes a short trip to Selinsgrove to swim against the River Hawks of Susquehanna University. Start time is scheduled for 2:00 p.m.
