COMPLETE RESULTS

Princeton capped a strong training week in Florida with an even stronger showing in its first tri-meet of the 2018-19 season. The Tiger men won every swimming event and added a 1-meter diving win during an impressive afternoon against Florida Atlantic and Boston College. Princeton posted a 230-70 win over the hosts, and a 239-59 win over Boston College.

The Princeton men set the season off on the right tone with a win in the first event, the 200 medley relay. Co-captain Cole Buese led off a quartet that included Corey Lau, Raunak Khosla and Christian Feiler, and that team won the event in 1:31.79.

Sophomore Levy Nathan, coming off one of Princeton's top freshman seasons last year, showed his growth by winning the 500 free (15:54.50) by more than five seconds over any swimmer in the field.

Senior co-captain Murphy McQuet led a 1-2-3 Princeton finish in the 200 free with a time of 1:39.52, while underclassmen Joshua Brown and Jonathan Pollock posted strong races for the next two spots. Buese joined his fellow co-captain as an individual winner shortly after, as he won the 100 back in 50.62.

Like Nathan, Corey Lau was coming off one of Princeton's top freshman seasons, and he posted a win in the 100 breast inn 57.02. Khosla is trying to put up his own strong debut year at Princeton, and he certainly got off on the right foot. After helping win the 200 medley relay, he won the 200 fly in 1:50.69.

Senior Christian Feiler won the 50 free in 20.93, while McQuet grabbed his second individual win by taking the 100 free in 45.55. Buese was quick to match McQuet by winning the 200 back in 1:49.26, and senior Tyler Lin added headed up a 1-2-3-4 Princeton finish in the 200 breast with a time of 2:05.54.

Nathan won the 500 free in 4:37.13, and Buese became Princeton's first tri-winner by taking the 100 fly in 49.52. Khosla added a 400 IM win in 4:02.38, while the quartet of Joshua Brown, McQuet, Nathan Yates and Feiler won the 200 free relay in 1:22.95.

Charlie Minns also gave new diving coach Sean Letsinger his first win in Orange and Black, as he won the 1-meter diving competition with 328.70 points.

Princeton will now head home and prepare for the annual Big Al Open, which takes place next Friday and Saturday at DeNunzio Pool.
