From NYU Athletics

The New York University men's swimming & diving team defeated The College of New Jersey by a score of 151-147 on Saturday, November 14, at the Palladium Athletic Facility in Manhattan. 

The Violets trailed for the majority of the meet. Heading into the final event, the 400-yard freestyle relay, NYU still faced a deficit. However, the foursome of sophomore Tim Kou, sophomore Joe Baron, senior Win Htet Oo, and sophomore Chad Moody finished in a time of 3:06.01, narrowly defeating TCNJ's national championship-winning relay team (3:06.31). The points earned from this win gave NYU the narrow victory. 

"The team really came through today," said Head Coach Trevor Miele. "We were behind for most of the meet, but we were able to make a surge towards the end. That was just really great racing."

HIGHLIGHTS:

- Junior Philip Kang was victorious in the 200-yard butterfly (1:54.61) and the 200-yard individual medley (1:54.54). He also finished second in the 200-yard backstroke (1:53.29).

- Sophomore diver Dylan Adler placed second in both the one-meter (250.12) and three-meter (231.46) competitions

"It was a solid day for the divers," said Diving Coach Scott Donie. "We added a lot of new dives, and it was great to get some competitive experience with them."
