NEW HAVEN, Conn. – McCoy Lyman qualified for NCAA diving zones and Colton Rasmussen won multiple events as the Dartmouth men's swim and dive team completed a dual meet at Yale on Saturday afternoon.

On Friday, the mens 1-meter we went 1-2 against Yale and 1-2-3 against Penn. The mens 3-meter again went 1-2 against Penn with Lyman qualifying for NCAA zones with a score of 299.75. Aryeh Lesch scored a 280.85, placing him second on the 1-meter.

"Our divers really set the tone with how they showed up to compete on Friday. It is great to see them really stepping up against Ivy competitors," said Head Coach Milana Socha.

On the swimming side, Tommy Erwin won the 1000 free against Penn with a season best time of 9:33.77.

Isaac Weigel and Jacob Turner went 1-2 against Penn in the 200 free with times of 1:40.13 and 1:41.92. Respectfully.

Colton Rasmussen took first in the 100 back as the only man in the field to break 50 seconds with a time of 49.83. He also took first in the 100 free, swimming a 45.25.

"Colton Rasmussen was on fire this meet. It has been exciting this season to watch him start to see that he can be one of the best swimmers in the League," said Socha.

Yan Dvoretskiy won the 200 fly against Yale with a time of 1:49.90 and Jacob Turner swam to a first place finish in the 200 IM with a time of 1:49.53 as the only competitor to break 1:50.

The Big Green A 400 free relay team won against Penn with a time of 3:01.06.

"Our men leaned into the opportunity to battle with Penn and while we didn't come out on top I'm very proud of how they stayed in the fight throughout the whole meet. This is the closest the team has been to Penn in a dual meet in a number of years and to compete well, with some fast times, in mid-January shows that they are really progressing and climbing as a team," noted Socha.

Dartmouth is back in action when they host Northeastern and UMass for the Tate Ramsden Invitational on Friday. January 17 and Saturday, January 18.
