Stags Swimming and Diving Falls to WashU and UChicago in Double Dual

CHICAGO, Ill. - William Jones (500 free), Jake Simon (three-meter) and Beckett Heywood (one-meter) won individual events for the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps men's swimming and diving teams, but the Stags fell to both WashU and the University of Chicago on Saturday in a double dual between three top-20 programs. 

CMS which is ranked No. 17 in the country, fell by a 166.5-133.5 final to No. 15 WashU, and by a 164-136 final to No. 3 Chicago. 

Jones swam a 4:34.74 in the 500 free to win by almost 1.4 seconds over Gavin Coggan of WashU (4:36.12). Simon earned 281.20 points in the three-meter to win by just under six points over Danyal Ghadiali of UChicago, while Heywood finished in a tie with Gage Wright of WashU with 275.60 points in the one-meter.

Sam Zhou was runner-up in the 100 breast in 55.50, which places him fourth all-time at CMS, and added a 2:02.02 in the 200 breast to come in second and move into tenth place in Stag history.

Jasper Shue was the runner-up in both the 200 free in 1:40.01 and in the 100 free in 45.72. Pierce McShane was also the runner-up in two events, clocking a 1:50.96 in the 200 back and a 3:58.77 in the 400 IM. 

CMS will be back in action on Saturday when it opens SCIAC competition with a double dual at Occidental.
