Two-Time Ivy Champ Swim/Dive Team Welcomes 10 Into Class Of 2014
June 21, 2010 | Men's Swimming and Diving
Rob Orr, the head coach of the two-time defending Ivy League champion men's swimming and diving team, is reloading once again and will bring in a talented array of competitors (nine swimmers, one diver) he hopes will help the program both immediately and for the next few years.
The Princeton Class of 2014 will include Nick Beaulieu, O'Neill Bergeron, Thomas Fellowes, Daniel Hasler, Adam Lebovitz, Eric Materniak, Paul Nolle III, Mark O'Connell, K.J. Park and Ian Rea.
That group will replace the graduated Class of 2010, which was led by tri-captains Daniel Dickerson, Jonathan Hartmann and Chris Quemena. That trio helped lead Princeton to a resounding championship at the Ivy League meet, held this past winter at DeNunzio Pool.
