SEWANEE, Tenn. - Four individual wins and a second-place men's finish highlighted the University of Montevallo's debut to collegiate swimming at the 19th annual Sewanee Invitational. 

Montevallo's men's team claimed second place, while the women also posted the second-best performance in the pool but finished third behind Sewanee, which collected points in diving. Several UM swimmers recorded lifetime personal best times in their events, while Connor Daigle and Molly Hansen etched their names in Montevallo athletics history with the school's first-ever wins, both winning two events. 

"I'm really proud of the team. We swam really well and fought hard. We got out touched a couple of times, but we also did the out-touching," said UM head coach Aaron Mahaney. "I was really impressed with the performance of the team. I was thinking we might have freshmen jitters being the first meet and not having any upperclassmen, but they stepped up overall and had some good races. There's still a lot of learning we have to do and a lot of growing, but for the first meet ever, I was pleasantly surprised."
