MIAMI, Fla. – The Binghamton swimming & diving teams took part in the Florida International University (FIU) Sprint Relays on Saturday at the Biscayne Bay Aquatic Center. The Bearcat men were third out of 13 teams in the competition while the women were fourth.

"It was good to compete today after training down here for a few days," head coach Jerry Cummiskey said. "The team did a nice job and we are in a good place right now with six weeks left before the conference meet. We are looking forward to having a few more good training sessions before heading back to Binghamton."

Individually, freshman Ryan Cohn led Binghamton with a first-place finish in the men's three-meter diving event (252.7). He was followed by junior Eric Temple in second place (245.50) and sophomore Chris Egan in third place (232.55).

Other top men's finishers included sophomore Ryan Board, who was third in the 100 breast (59.24), freshman Jackson Homan, who was fourth in the 100 IM (53.80) and fellow freshman Ryan Maierle, who was fourth in the 100 free (49.53).

Homan was also sixth in the 100 breast (1:00.18) and seventh in the 50 breast (27.17) while Board was also fifth in the 50 breast (26.99).

Also recording top-five finishes were senior Tyler Meyers in the 100 IM (53.96), sophomore Ben Beldner in the 100 free (49.67) and freshman Matthew Palguta in the 400 free (3:58.05).
