The Florida Atlantic women and Towson men put a bow on the 2025 Patriot Invite, taking home the team titles. The FAU women have now won three consecutive team titles at the Patriot Invite. This was the Towson men’s first team title at this meet.
The final day featured the 1650 free, 200 back, 100 free, 200 breast, 200 fly, and 400 free relay. Four more meet records went down during finals, including three pool records, all on the men’s side.
Women’s Recap
Florida Atlantic’s Nula Gow won her second event of the meet. Gow touched first in the 200 breast to lower her best time by over two seconds (2:12.85).
Gow’s teammate Meg Drover-Smith won the 200 back for the second straight year (1:57.30). She is the school record-holder in the event.
Maja Piotrowicz (FAU) set a new personal best in the 100 free, dipping under 50 seconds for the first time in her career (49.93). She later anchored FAU’s ‘A’ squad, which finished first in the 400 free relay. Piotrowicz (49.52) was joined by Izzy Jones (50.70), Bry Belile (50.37), and Talitha McEwan (50.99).

Isabel McGovern (American) swept the butterfly events, adding the 200 fly on the final night (2:02.81). Her time was exactly 0.01 off her best time.
Men’s Recap
Florida Atlantic’s Daniel Laureyssens capped off a stellar meet with a new pool record, meet record, and school record in the 100 free (42.77). He completed the sweep of the 50-100-200 free and was three-for-three in school records.
Despite throwing down a field-best 42.87 anchor split on the 400 free relay, Laureyssens and the Owls settled for 2nd. George Mason’s team of Tate Anderson (43.81), Ian Rodgers (43.99), Agustin Rasche (43.56), and Gabe Miller (44.31) closed out the meet with a new pool and meet record, previously held by Towson (2:55.67).
Towson’s Sean Colson completed the backstroke sweep by winning the 200 back (1:42.30). Like Laureyssens, he also broke the pool and meet record, as well as his own school record.
Jed Garner of Towson won his third event, topping the field in the 200 breast (1:53.19). He broke the meet record in the process. Garner has been as fast as 1:52.30.
James Shevchenko (FAU) also won his third event of the meet. He clocked 1:45.70 in the 200 fly for a new personal best.
To kick off the final session, Towson’s Christian Davidson won the 1650 free (15:18.52), six seconds off the 15:12.00 he swam when he represented McKendree at the Division II NCAA Championship.
