HANOVER, N.H. — The Dartmouth men's swimming and diving team clinched a 229-103 victory over UMass on the final day of the Tate Ramsden Invitational Saturday at Karl Michael Pool.

Eddy Chen earned a meet record in the 100 breast with a personal-best time of 55.97 seconds, which is good for fourth all-time in program history. Chen posted another meet record in the 200 breast at 2:01.96. He was also part of the meet-record-breaking 200 medley relay squad alongside Joe Moll, Alexander Ye and Tim Park.

Colton Rasmussen, Tim Cushman, Moll and Park established a new meet record in the 400 free relay with a time of 3:03.29. The same four swam the 200 free relay on Friday and toppled a meet record as Dartmouth earned five between both days of the Tate Ramsden Invitational.

In total, the Big Green won 15 events in the entirety of the invitational, including all but one swimming event. Moll opened the first session with a victory in the 100 fly, touching the wall in 49.31 seconds. Shortly after, Ye dominated in the 400 IM with a time of 4:02.95. Yan Dvoretskiy followed it up with a first-place performance in the 200 free at 1:39.58. Dartmouth had each of the top four finishers in the 100 breast, led by Chen's meet-record time. Cushman, who was honored prior to the start of the opening session as part of a three-member senior class, won the 100 back in 50.98 seconds. A record-breaking 200 medley relay closed Session 1.

Ye won the 200 back in the beginning of the second session with a time of 1:53.42. Park led four Dartmouth swimmers at the top of the 100 free at 46.41 seconds. Chen's record-breaking performance in the 200 breast followed. Dvoretskiy's time of 1:48.98 earned first in the 200 fly, which also feature four Big Green athletes at the top. The stellar 400 free relay victory rounded out the hosts' victories.

Everett Tai, who qualified for NCAA Zone Championships on Friday, placed second on the 3-meter board with a score of 332.75.

Dartmouth is back home on Saturday, Feb. 4 to host Columbia in conference action at 12 p.m. It's the final meet before the Ivy League Championships, which begin Friday, Feb. 22 in Providence, R.I.
