DAVIDSON — Seven events wins and a team victory by the Wildcat men highlighted the Davidson swimming and diving teams' return to competition Saturday afternoon against William & Mary in Cannon Pool.
The Davidson men earned a 148-140 win over the Tribe, while the visitors took the women's win (205-89) in the final home meet of the season.
"On the heels of a productive training camp, this was a great return to racing," said coach John Young. "We had a good crowd and strong competition, and the energy at Cannon Pool was palpable. I was impressed by both teams and especially grateful to see the seniors lead the way again."
Dylan Felt led the way with wins in the 200 free (1:35.49) and 500 free (4:26.62). Fellow seniors Liam McDonough (100 back, 50.29) and Fletcher Smith (200 fly, 1:48.46) also added victories.
The rest of the wins came from Wildcat freshmen, as Henry Shoemaker touched first in the 1,000 free (9:21.67) and Phelim Crowley won the 200 IM (1:52.01). Max Boylan provided the day's biggest cheers with a victory in the 200 breast (2:03.27).
Ginny Thorsen (200 free, 1:52.15) and Ann Thompson (200 back, 2:02.38) led the Wildcat women with second-place finishes.
Davidson also added extra points in diving, with top scores from Elle Jacobsen (women's 1M, 3M), Jonas Lusis (men's 1M) and Garrett Sablich (men's 3M).
Prior to the meet, the Wildcats honored their 11-member senior class.
