WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — Dylan Felt won two events, set two records and led Davidson in the water Saturday afternoon at William & Mary.
A freshman from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Felt set a Davidson record in the 1,000 free with a winning time of 9:24.07. He also set a William & Mary pool record with his 500 free win (4:31.58).
In all, the Wildcats won 16 events Saturday and also earned a 148-113 men’s team win.
“Good outings for the ‘Cats,” said coach John Young. “Dylan gave us a couple more highlights, and it’ll be nice to see his name up on the William & Mary record board with (former Wildcat) Sarah Helen Shepherd’s. Other highlights for the Cats included big relay splits and big 50s for Guil Ware and Martha Tripsa. Cynthia Huang had a really nice 400 IM. Ben McClain looked good taking care of business in the 200 and 100. It was a really nice 200 fly for Fletcher Smith, and Miles Charles and Shelby Stanley had well-swum 100 butterflies. Nice 1,000 for Sylvia Stewart-Bates, and a nice 1-2 in the 500 for Kate Pottle and Sylvia. Jeremy Kemp again in the back. Overall, a really solid outing.”
Felt was also part of a third win, teaming with McClain, Ian Brann and Ware to win the 200 free relay in 1:24.21.
