Jennings Wins The Program's First NE-10 Diving Crown on Day Two

The Panthers set four new school records on day two of the Northeast-10 Championships.

Jalen Jennings captured an NE-10 Championships on the one-meter board.
New Haven, CT - The Adelphi University swim team continued competition at the Northeast-10 Championships on Friday, February 1 in New Haven, Connecticut on the campus of Southern Connecticut State University. On the second day of action Jalen Jennings captured the programs first NE-10 diving title and the Panthers set three school records in the pool.

The men are currently sitting in sixth place overall with a total of 230 points, while the women are seventh with 191 points. 

Jennings highlighted the action on the second day of the NE-10 Championship meet when he turned the tables on Josh Byrne of LeMoyne, who was tops in the prelims by 13 points, to win the programs first conference title on the one meter board. Jennings score of 462.50 was yet another NCAA automatic qualifying mark and out distanced Byrne by less then two points for victory.

In the pool the men were led by Michael Mayer, who continued his strong swimming with a third place finish in the 400 yard individual medley. Mayer's clocking of 4:09.56 broke his own existing school record and was just three seconds off of an NCAA B cut. Chad Ankers had two strong swims of his own, placing fourth in the 100 yard butterfly (52.88) and eighth in the 200 yard freestyle (1:49.64). His 100 yard butterfly time missed the NCAA B cut mark by just over two seconds.

Mayer, Ankers and Jennings teamed up with Zachary Mazur to finish sixth in the 200 yard medley with a clocking of 1:42.04 and the trio of Mayer, Ankers and Mazur were joined by Kevin Rohle in the 800 yard freestyle relay, touching the wall at 7:34.27, good enough for fifth in the field.

Individually Gabrielle Terzano led the way for the women, placing sixth in the 400 yard individual medley with a new school record time of 4:44.23. She also turned in a ninth place performance in the 100 yard backstroke with a time of 1:01.25. Brittany Stanford also had a solid swim, placing seventh in the 100 yard breaststroke and breaking her own school record in the prelims with a time of 1:10.16. 

Terzano and Stanford teamed up with Ana Galesic and Heather Miller to post a sixth place finish in the 200 yard medley relay in another school record, 1:54.06. Jaclyn Dodenhoff and Rachel Garry joined Terzano and Stanford in the pool for the 800 yard freestyle relay as Adelphi's name flashed sixth on the board thanks to a time of 8:24.46. 

Adelphi will return to the pool and warp up action at the Northeast-10 Championships on Saturday, February 2. Follow all the action live here.
