BUFFALO, N.Y. – Sophomore Reeve Callen (Oswego) won the 100-yard freestyle and freshman Adam Opsahl (East Lyme, CT) finished second in the 200-yard breaststroke during the final day of competition at the SUNYAC Men's Swimming and Diving Championships.

Cortland finished in fourth place of nine schools in the final team standings. Geneseo won the crown with 848 points. In a tight battle for the next three spots, Fredonia placed second with 497 points, followed by Oneonta in third with 492 and Cortland in fourth with 488. Geneseo won its 20th league crown and 15th in the last 16 years; the Knights had their 14-year run of SUNYAC titles snapped by Cortland last February.

Callen won the 100-yard freestyle in 46.58 seconds, just 17 hundredths of a second ahead of the runner-up after they were even at the halfway point. Opsahl was just nipped at the wall in the 200-yard breaststroke as his second-place time of 2:07.32 was only four hundredths of a second behind the winner. Sophomore Jack Jakubek (Monroe/Monroe-Woodbury) was also part of a frantic finish in that race – he placed third in 2:07.34, two hundredths of a second behind Opsahl and 15 hundredths of a second ahead of the fourth-place swimmer.

Individual champions at the meet earn first-team All-SUNYAC honors. Second-place and third-place individual finishers are awarded second-team all-league status.

Sophomore Mathew Hasbrouck (New Paltz) finished fourth in the 200-yard butterfly in 1:57.27 after posting the top time of 1:55.29 in prelims. Senior Mark Hanifin (Fort Plain) finished fifth in the 100-yard freestyle (47.04) and sophomore Lee Wade (Holtsville/Sachem East) placed sixth in 3-meter diving (423.85 points).

Also scoring for the Red Dragons individually were: junior Alex Spatzer (Buffalo/Kenmore West) in 10th place in the 200-yard butterfly (1:59.23, 1:58.74 in prelims); junior Esteban Rodriguez (Hartsdale/Woodlands) in 12th place in the 200-yard breaststroke (2:19.39); freshman Jamie Miller (Eden) in 14th place in the 200-yard butterfly (2:05.46); and freshman Dylan Burns (Cornwall) in 15th place in the 100-yard freestyle (48.52).
