Bermudian swimmer Thomas Cechini produced a commanding individual display to help propel the Loyola University Maryland men's swimming and diving team to a 168-132 victory over George Washington.
The Greyhounds men enjoyed a dominant outing in the capital, claiming nine event victories across the dual meet.
Sophomore Cechini headlined his afternoon with a sharp performance in the men’s 200-yard freestyle, setting the pace from the front to touch the wall first in a brisk 1 minute 38.89 seconds, leading a Loyola one-two finish ahead of teammate Colin Davis (1:39.24).
The Bermudian was back on the blocks for relay duty in the meet-closing men’s 400-yard freestyle relay. Swimming the second leg for Loyola's 'C' quartet alongside Ben Schlotterer, Hayden Bartz, and Grant Haley, Cechini helped the squad post a combined time of 3:06.21 to secure fifth place overall.
Loyola's 'A' relay unit captured first in the event (2:58.39) to cap off a prolific afternoon for the Greyhounds, who took maximum points in both men's relay fixtures and seven individual swimming events.
