Our trip to Philadelphia for our dual meet with A-10 foe LaSalle ended in 177-123 victory over the previously 3-0 Explorers but required a little more work than anticipated. Our hope going in was to give a few of the guys the opportunity to compete in alternate events but after LaSalle opened the meet winning the first three events including a 1-2-3 in the 1000 free we needed to adjust for the task at hand. The result was a solid but rather lackluster set of times. Yi Liu continued his trend of solid swims with wins in the 200 fly and 200 IM and Kevin Murphy put up a nice swim in the 500 free. David Kundzik was a triple winner in the 50 free, 100 free and 100 fly and Mariusz Michalik won the 200 breast while Freshman Peter Koenig came up with our first individual event win in the meet by stopping the bleeding in the 100 back. This gave us the opportunity to keep it close enough to regroup and get the meet under control to our advantage. Diving was once again a strong point with a 1-3-4 finish in the 3 meter and 1-3-5 outcome on the 1 meter.
We had an even stronger showing in the stands with the majority of the fans attending being SBU affiliated. Men's Swim Alums in attendance were Jason Poinatowski, Joe Murphy, Lucas Fink, Chris Ekimoff, Billy Howard, Brendan Morrissey & Ryan Bronowicz.

Miss it already.
Great to see you all again! Keep in touch.
What are you missing?
Swimming. Coaching. Whip bets with Phil.
Like Joe Murph said, "even if I had to do the 1000, I would to get to do it again."
Need a full time assistant?
Agreed. It was nice seeing everyone. Kudos to the swimmer who bravely swam the 1000, 500, and 200Fly. That'll teach you...Don't mess with Sasquatch
