Arsenault Sets Patriot Invitational Record

FAIRFAX, Va. – UNCW junior sprinter Evan Arsenault won the women's 50 Freestyle and set a meet record in the process to lead the Seahawks on Thursday at the Patriot Invitational hosted by George Mason at the McKay Natatorium.

UNCW holds an 11-point lead on Colonial Athletic Association rival Drexel entering the second day while the Seahawk women trail front-runner FAU and second-place Drexel.

Arsenault, who also swam a leg on UNCW's winning 200 Free Relay that opened the meet, touched the wall in a time of 22.51 seconds, eclipsing the previous mark of 22.70 set in 2016.

The Seahawks dominated the 50 Free by placing three in the top five of the finals race Thursday evening. Joining Arsenault were Faith Pilcher and Sarah Olson who finished third and fifth, respectively.

All three also swam on the winning 200 Free Relay along with Hannah Copeland. The relay posted a winning time of 1:33.44.

UNCW gained valuable points in the diving portion of Thursday's schedule. Courtney Klausen and Nicole Costello finished third and fourth respectively, in the women's 3-meter board. On the men's side, Kolbein Bjugan took second in the men's 1-meter dive.

In the men's meet, despite not winning a race, the Seahawks were able to record a pair of second-place finishes in the relays, a second-place showing in the 50 Free and a third-place finish in the 200 IM.

In the 200 Free Relay, the relay of Will Countie, Jack Cosgrove, Gianmichael D'Alessandro and Sean Cannon clocked in at 1:21.36.

In closing out the day's races, Countie, Josh Rigsbee, Noah Cahan and Cannon combined for a time of 3:16.88 in the 400 Medley Relay. The Seahawks moved into first when the relay of Brent Hoshall, D'Alesandro, Henderson Louviere and Cosgrove finished fourth.

Cannon finished second in the 50 Free with a time of 20.30 and Henderson took third in the 200 IM with a mark of 1:50.47.

Day two of the meet begins at 10 a.m. on Friday with the prelims followed by Diving at 1 p.m. and the swimming finals at 6 p.m.
