ANNVILLE, Pa. – Lebanon Valley hosted Lycoming for the team's 2016-17 home finale on Sunday afternoon, Jan. 22. The Flying Dutchmen women fell to the Warriors by a slim 134-104 margin, while the men dropped an ever tighter 128.5-103.5 decision to Lyco.
The meet also served as LVC's Senior Day and during the event's first intermission, the program honored its nine seniors in
Bryce Betz,
Garrett Collins,
Hannah Fox,
Katie Frace,
Marie Gorman,
Kara Hess,
Kat Matekovic,
Lauren Skorupski, and
Kyra Valent.
The women opened the meet with an exciting win in the 200-meter freestyle relay as the foursome of
Katie Gingrich,
Julianna Currie,
Leslie Hiller, and Valent combined to touch in 2:03.02, just .49 seconds faster than the runners-up from Lyco. The men also opened the event with a victory when Collins, Betz,
Chris Kurtz, and
Ian Lloyd combined to swim a 1:43.91, just .58 seconds shy of the program record.
Fresh off setting a pair of school records in the 100-meter butterfly and 400-meter IM one day earlier, Lloyd picked up a solo victory in the 200-meter butterfly. His time of 2:18.38 was almost four seconds faster than Will Gillespie, the Warriors' runner-up.
Kurtz and Lycoming's Callan Jordan put on a show in the hotly-contested 100-meter freestyle, with Kurtz (56.45) besting Jordan (56.46) by a miniscule .01 seconds. Collins nabbed a victory in the 50-meter freestyle as he and Theo Gouskos, brother of LVC's
Ari Gouskos, posted identical times of 26.26 before he earned nine points for his team in the 200-meter freestyle with an effort of 2:14.35.
Madison Martin earned LVC's first solo victory on the women's side, as her time of 2:48.85 was good enough to best Lyco's Emily Jacobs in the 200-meter backstroke.
Marie Gorman was also strong, winning a pair of races on the day. Her first victory came by more than four seconds in the 400-meter freestyle before she edged Madison Walmer in the 200-meter free thanks to a time of 2:27.67.
The foursome of Martin, Skorupski,
D'Anna Sydow, and
Leslie Hiller earned 11 points for the women in the 200-meter medley relay, as did the team of Betz, Gouskos, Jacob Ilgenfritz, and Kurtz in the same race on the men's side.
The Dutchmen wrap up the regular season at Hood next Saturday afternoon, Jan. 28 before heading to the Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) Championships next month.
