PRESS RELEASE – KENYON MEN:
COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Kenyon College Lords swimming and diving team rang up 21 top-five finishes Friday night, but that didn’t stop their NCAA Division I opponent, The Ohio State University Buckeyes, from breezing to 221-75 dual-meet victory at McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion.
The Lords got two of their best swims of the evening within the meet’s first four events. In the opening 200-yard medley relay Ben Baturka, Mick Bartholomew, Matthew Cooper and David Fitch combined for a time of 1:32.64, which was good for third place. Three events later, Baturka completed the 100-yard backstroke in 51.49, which netted another third-place finish.
In between those two events, Kenyon freshman Fielding Fischer and sophomore Reilly Shieldsturned in a couple more top-five finishes. Fischer was fourth in the 1,000-yard freestyle, clocking in at 9:42.58, and Shields was fifth in the 200-yard freestyle, finishing in 1:42.20.
The Lords had two more top-five finishes before Ohio State swimmers began swimming events as exhibitions. Junior Jon Zimdars claimed fifth in the 200-yard butterfly and Bartholomew, a sophomore, claimed fifth place in the 200-yard backstroke. Zimdars’ time was 1:53.64 and Bartholomew’s was 1:55.72.
Following that event, all but one Buckeye swimmer in each event competed for points. That left the door open for a few Kenyon runner-up finishes. Sophomore Kieran Allsop collected the first of those second-place showings by clocking in at 2:10.90 in the 200-yard breaststroke. Another sophomore, Connor Rumpit was next, as he took the second-place spot in the 500-yard freestyle by finishing in 4:37.27. Zimdars was second in the 100-yard butterfly with a time of 51:04 and senior Matt Leenhouts finished off the Lords’ individual performance with a runner-up placement and a time of 1:57.64 in the 200-yard individual medley.
Closing out the meet, the Kenyon men posted a time of 3:10.56 in the 400-yard freestyle relay to claim one final second-place finish. That quartet consisted of Shields, Fitch, Weston Carpenter and Tommy Weiss.
