Big Red wins men’s meet 149-94, women’s competition 153-90

VESTAL, N.Y. – Binghamton held its final swimming & diving home meet of the fall semester on Friday evening against Cornell at the Saunders Aquatic Center. The Big Red swept the meet, winning 149-94 on the men's side and 153-90 in the women's competition.

Senior Elijah Lanfear won a team-best two events, sweeping both the 50 free (20.90) and 100 fly (48.58). He now has recorded 13 individual victories so far this season. 

Other winners on the men's side included freshman Evan Peters in the 200 free (1:41.16) and sophomore Dylan Norby in the men's three-meter diving event (268.80).

Binghamton also posted four individual winners in the women's meet. Junior Maria Pignatelli captured the 50 free (24.94), senior Lauren Kuzma took top honors in the 200 IM (2:09.99), junior Elizabeth Tirado won the one-meter diving event (226.13) and freshman Fayanne Smith-Salzberg was first in the 100 breast (1:06.05).

The meet started off with Cornell breaking the pool records in both the men's and women's 200 medley relays. Their times were 1:31.26 and 1:44.69 respectively.

"Cornell is a very good team and they started off the meet strong by breaking those pool records," head coach Jerry Cummiskey said. "But we kept competing and had some very good swims on both the men's and women's sides. Also, the Ivy League has very good divers, so for us to win two of the events was very good."

Binghamton returns to action at the Brown Invitational Nov. 21-24.
