Hobart won both relays and swept the diving events, but Oswego State defeated the Statesmen 162-124 Saturday in their swimming and diving home opener at Bristol Pool in Geneva.
The nonconference loss dropped Hobart to 1-2. First-year swimmers Chase Patten and Ryan Bodick each won two individual races and helped win both relays, according to HWS Athletics’ meet report.
Patten and Bodick lead the swimmers
Patten took first in the 50-yard freestyle in 22.67 seconds, then added a victory in the 100 freestyle with a time of 50.26 seconds. He also swam on the winning 200 medley and 200 freestyle relay teams.
Bodick swept the breaststroke races, winning the 100 in 1 minute, 4.32 seconds. He followed that with a first-place finish in the 200 breaststroke, touching the wall in 2:24.81.
First-years Tommy Lowe and Noah Moles joined Patten and Bodick on both winning relay teams. The four swimmers combined for a time of 1:45.09 in the 200 medley relay and 1:35.68 in the 200 freestyle relay.
Statesmen take both diving events
Junior Endry Paulino Lora won the 1-meter competition with 184.45 points. He also finished second on the 3-meter board with 157.40 points, giving him a top-two finish in each diving event.
Sophomore Steven Nolte reversed that order, winning the 3-meter event with 164.05 points and finishing second on the 1-meter board with 158.50. Together, Nolte and Paulino Lora gave Hobart the first two places on both boards.
