ITHACA, N.Y. – The Binghamton swimming & diving teams concluded the fall portion of their 2019-20 schedule at Cornell on Tuesday afternoon. Competing on just two days rest following their weekend at the Rhode Island Invitational, the Bearcats were defeated 147-91 in the men's meet and 154-84 in the women's meet.

Senior Tyler Meyers won the men's 50 free with a time of 21.65. He then led off the first-place 200 free relay team which also included fellow senior Dylan Van Manen, junior Shane Morris and freshman Ryan Maierle and clocked a time of 1:27.49.

Also winning on the men's side was sophomore Ryan Board in the 100 breaststroke (58.09). Earlier in the day, he was named the America East Men's Swimmer of the Week.

On the women's side, first-place finishes were recorded by senior Sydney Atendido in the 100 breast (1:06.85) and freshman Audrey Pesek in the 100 back (58.75). In addition, the 200 free relay team of seniors Rebecca Nelson and Kaitlyn Lange, junior Kaitlyn Smolar and sophomore Belen Marriaga won in a time of 1:41.25.

"I thought we had some good swims tonight and did a good job of getting up and racing after coming off a long weekend," head coach Jerry Cummiskey said. "Cornell is a very talented team so obviously it was a tall task tonight."

Binghamton regroups for the stretch run of the season during its winter training trip, which features the FIU Sprint Invite on Jan 4.

"Overall, we had a very strong fall semester," Cummiskey said. "We have a month and a half before we compete again and will look to get back to work and set our site on the America East Championship Meet."
