LANCASTER, Pa. – The Ursinus College men's swimming team wrapped up the third day of competition at the Centennial Conference Championship on Saturday evening from Franklin & Marshall College.
 

Ursinus currently sits in sixth place overall behind 225 team points. Swarthmore College (639) currently is the leader of the pack with Gettysburg College (604) and Franklin & Marshall (324) rounding out the top-three. Dickinson College (241) and Washington College (233) rank just ahead of the Bears, while McDaniel (114) rounds out the seven-team field.

 
The Bears opened with a fifth-place finish in the 200-yard freestyle relay as the quartet of seniors Kevin Sonn, Dylan Schreffler, Jonah Kasznay, and sophomore Jack Giuliana combined for a time of 1:23.80. Giuliana followed up with a sixth-place finish in the A-Final of the 100-yard butterfly by touching the wall at 50.14. Giuliana's time of 50.08 in the preliminary round now ranks as a career best and second all-time in program history behind Dan Mueser's time of 49.94 in 2019.
