Indianapolis, Ind. – The ECU men scored 119 points through three scored events on Wednesday to lead the way through the opening day of The American's 2019 Swimming and Diving Championships at the IUPUI Natatorium. The Pirates set the conference's meet record in the 200 medley relay on the way to capturing their third title in this event.
Cincinnati won the 800 freestyle relay and finished the day in second place with 118 points, while UConn rounded out the top three with 94 points. SMU took home its sixth 3-meter dive title, ending Wednesday's action with 86 points.
The men's meet started with the 3-meter dive prelims, as Cincinnati's Louie Hunt (317.35), SMU's Parker Hardigree (314.35) and ECU's Devin Nugent (298.95) entered the finals with the top-three scores, respectively.
Nugent raised his score to 309.00 in the finals and finished as runner-up with SMU's Parker Hardigree taking home the gold medal with his score of 337.45 .
Winning the 200 medley relay title for a second-consecutive year, ECU's team of Tristan Taylor, Jacek Arentewicz, Gustavo Santos and Gavin Erdmann swam for a conference-record time of 1:26.19. The same four Pirates swam for first place in this event a year ago.
ECU, which took home the 800 free relay title in 2015, 2016 and 2017, was this year's runner up. The Pirates' team of Marek Osina, Pietro Nannucci, Grega Popovic and Blaz Demsar placed second with their time of 6:28.46 as Cincinnati won its second-straight 800 freestyle relay title, posting the second-fastest time in conference history (6:25.27).
"I'm very pleased with our effort and energy tonight," ECU Head Coach Matthew Jabs said. "I'm happy with our relay performances as well. Gavrillo and Devin really stepped up and each had a strong 3-meter event."
The ECU women's squad sits in sixth-place after day one with 61 points. The Houston women swept Wednesday's relay events, as the Cougars lead the way with 116 points through three scored events.
The title meet continues tomorrow with prelims starting at 10 a.m. ET and finals beginning at 6 p.m. ET.
