Swim & Dive Set for Patriot League Championships
HAMILTON – The Colgate men's and women's swimming and diving teams are set to compete in the Patriot League Championships Wednesday, Feb. 21, through Saturday, Feb. 24, in the U.S. Naval Academy's Lejeune Hall in Annapolis, Md.
Colgate looks to continue its momentum after seeing success throughout the 2023-24 season. The women finished the regular season with a 5-3 record, including 2-2 against Patriot League competition with wins over Lafayette and Holy Cross – the program's first win over the Crusaders since 2018.
The women at 5-3 overall secured their first winning season since 2017-18, when they compiled the same mark. On the men's side, wins over Le Moyne and Hamilton highlight the program's 2-6 mark heading into the Patriot League championships.
Last year's championship saw the women place eighth with 202.5 points, nearly 50 points higher than the previous season. The men, meanwhile, scored 107.5 points during last year's championships, a significant improvement from their 80 points scored from the previous year.
