JAMAICA, NY— The York College men's and women's swimming team lost its season-opening meet to Mt. St. Mary College Tuesday evening. The women lost by a score of 105-93, while the men fell 96-80.
Despite the loss, York sophomore Averie Mohammed picked up where she left off from last year, winning both the 50-freestyle and the 100-freestyle. In addition the men's relay teams won both the 200-medley relay and the 200-freestyle relay.
Sara Pazmino made a strong showing in the meet as well, winning the 100-breaststroke and placing second in the 200-individual medley.
For the men, the team of Karim Chesimard, Johnnathon Boyce, Andrew Phillips and Sergio Negron easily won the 200-medley relay by a nine second margin. In a much tighter finish Negron, Juan Recinos, Chesimard and Wesley Padilla edged out Mt. St. Mary in the 200-free relay.
Phillips also performed well individually, winning the 100-butterfly and placing second in the 50-free.
The York women will return to action on Friday when they travel to Hunter College at 6:00 p.m. The men will be idle until November 16, when they host Old Westbury.
