NEW YORK, N.Y. – The Brown men's swimming & diving team was defeated by Columbia, 193-108, on Saturday at Uris Pool in an Ivy League meet. The Bears picked up three individual victories with junior Riley Springman (Orlando, Fla.) in the 200 butterfly, freshman Cody Cline (Wellington, Fla.) in the 50 freestyle and freshman Toshiki Takahashi (Tokyo, Japan) in the 200 breaststroke.

"We are improving each week as the team dials into the champion season," said head coach Chris Ip. "I'm confident the team will be shooting for season-best performances in our final dual meet on January 28th, as we honor our seniors against Cornell."

A team of sophomore Nicholas Brown (Sudbury, Mass.), senior Connor Lohman (Prospect, Ky.), freshman Joon Sung (Los Angeles, Calif.) and senior Jack Nee (Pepper Pike, Ohio) took second in the 200 medley relay with a time of 1:32.19 to open the meet.

Freshman Coley Sullivan (Louisville, Ky.) took second in the 200 backstroke (1:50.56) and third in the 100 backstroke (51.79). Nicholas Brown took third in the 100 backstroke (51.26) and fourth in the 200 backstroke (1:53.76).

One of the best events for the Bears was the 50 freestyle where Cline took the win (20.73) ahead of Nee (second, 20.86) and senior Daniel Klotz (Berlin, Conn.) (fourth, 21.09).

Sophomore Liam Hollowsky (Naples, Fla.) swam to a third-place finish in both the 200 freestyle (1:41.26) and the 500 freestyle 4:36.53. Junior Grant Casey (North Attleboro, Mass.) and sophomore Matt Orringer (Ann Arbor, Mich.) went 3-4 in the 1000 freestyle with times of 9:45.32 and 9:48.85, respectively.

In diving, senior Jonathon Schlafer (Uniontown, Ohio) finished second with a score of 324.08 in the 3M while junior Bryce Campanelli (Palmyra, Va.) and freshman William McNelis (Grosse Pointe Woods, Mich.) took fourth and fifth with scores of 285.30 and 242.48, respectively. Schlafer again placed second in the 1M (301.95) with Campanlli (246.60) and McNelis (220.80) also taking the same, fourth and fifth.

In addition to winning the 200 butterfly in 1:50.09, Springman was second in the 200 IM (1:54.10). Sung finished in third place (49.80) for the 100 butterfly.

Takahashi won the 200 breaststroke in 2:04.48. Lohman placed third in the 100 breaststroke (57.90).

The 400 freestyle relay team of freshman Jagger Stephens (Agana Heights, Hagatna, Guam) freshman Alex Smilenov (Orlando, Fla.), sophomore Charles Steele (Katy, Texas) and Cline were slightly out touched by .06 to end the meet in second place.

"Our staff will focus on the little details of our races as we got touched out in too many races today against the Lions," said Ip. "Once again the trio of Riley Springman, Coley Sullivan, and Cody Cline have been consistently paving the way with big individual swims."

The Bears will host their final meet of the regular season on Saturday, Jan. 28 against Cornell at 12:00 p.m.
