WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – Jack Clawson and Dain Vallie qualified for the Middle Atlantic Conference Championships on Saturday to help the Lebanon Valley men's swimming team defeat host Lycoming College 119-45 in the first meet of the year.
 
The Dutchmen defeated the Warriors for the first time-ever in a series that dates to 1990. Lycoming had won the first 31 meetings between the programs including a 115-86 victory last year in Annville.
