HANOVER, N.H. – The Dartmouth men's swimming and diving team defeated UMass by a score of 187.5-142.5 to win the Tate Ramsden Invitational on Saturday.

Connor LaMastra was back at it again, breaking meet and pool records in the 200 free (1:38.09) and 1650 free (15:20.72). The latter was the longest standing individual record left, one that had been on the board since Dartmouth hosted the Ivy League Championship in 1981.

In the 400 IM, Maxwell Jones was second (4:17.91), picking up four points. Matt Luciano was first in the 100 fly (50.16), out-touching the Dutchman in second place by over a second and half. Landon Armstrong tied for fourth (52.56).

In the 200 free, Ethan Banks was second (1:44.01) and John Hall was fourth (1:44.59). The Big Green earned nine points in the 100 breast, being led by Parker Hershberger in second (57.64). Connor Richmond was third (58.51) and Jones came in fourth (59.18).

Noah Hensley won the 100 back with a time of 51.75. To end the second session, Dartmouth was second in the 200 medley relay (1:33.95). The Green's C and B relays tied for third with a time of 1:35.95.

Dartmouth went 1-4 on 1-meter. Justin Sodokoff won (321.97) and was followed by Ray Neistat (285.38), Kyle Schubert (279.67) and Jonathan Hu (278.84). On 3-meter, Sodokoff was victorious again (331.58), while Neistat (316.80), Hu (249.23) and Schubert (241.73) took second through fourth. In the 200 fly, Luciano (1:57.63) and Ethan Moon (2:00.34) ended up scoring position.

The only Dartmouth swimmer to compete in the 200 back, Tim Cushman placed second (1:53.53). In the 100 free, Joe Moll was first (45.63), and Armstrong (47.16), Connor Bishop (47.99) and Tang-e Tan (48.02) touched soon after. Richmond finished highest for the Green in the 200 breast, taking second (2:07.03). Herschberger (2:07.96), Jones (2:08.48) and Brandon Liao (2:09.66) touched in a row soon after.

To end the weekend, Dartmouth's 400 free relay was first (3:04.64), breaking the meet record by three one-hundredths of a second.

Next Saturday, the Big Green will travel to New York to swim one last Ivy meet against Columbia.
