NEW YORK, N.Y. – Dartmouth men's swimming and diving fell to Columbia (171-124) in both teams' final dual meet of the 2021-22 season.

The Big Green finished in the top two 15 times and won five events throughout the day.

Isaac Weigel was first in all three of his events: the 200 free (1:39.43), 100 free (45.84) and 100 IM (52.15) and was part of the 200 medley relay that placed second (1:33.34). Tim Park swam two of those same events (200 free and 100 free) and placed second with times of 1:39.87 and 46.39. He also competed in the winning 200 free relay (1:24.67) alongside Alexander Ye, Steven Mendley and Tim Cushman.

In the 50 free, Mendley was second in 21.18, touching less than three-tenths of a second after the winner. He went on to place third in the 50 fly (23.01). Connor Richmond came in second place in both the 50 breast (26.89) and 100 breast (58.80).

Joe Moll had a busy day, winning the 500 free (4:37.19), taking second in the 100 IM (52.87) and 200 medley relay and fourth in the 200 free (1:40.51). On the 3-meter diving board, Kyle Schubert was fourth (307.13) and Jason Rickenbacher was fifth (240.08). A few events later on 1-meter, Schubert took fourth (295.73) and Rickenbacher placed fifth (237.38).

Next up for the Big Green will be the Ivy League Championship, which will take place at Princeton from Feb. 23-26.
