CORTLAND, N.Y. – Five Red Dragons posted two individual victories each and Lance Meeson (Clifton Park/Shenedehowa) qualified for NCAA diving regionals as the Cortland men's swimming and diving team defeated Division II Le Moyne College, 181-112, in a home dual meet on Saturday.
 
Meeson hit NCAA standards with both his winning score of 448.80 points on 3-meter diving and his third-place score of 444.53 points on the 1-meter board. The 3-meter score is his second time in as many days with an NCAA score on that board, earning him a spot into regionals for the second straight year.

Sean Zupko (Montgomery/Valley Central) won both the 1,000-yard freestyle (10:19.12) and 200-yard backstroke (2:01.93), while Hunter Bernhardt (Groton) captured the 200-yard freestyle (1:46.23) and 500-yard freestyle (4:47.45). Makiah Poli (Cortland/Hme schooled) took top honors in the 100-yard backstroke (55.05) and 200-yard IM (2:04.00) and Mason Arnberg (Dix Hills/Half Hollow Hills East) won the 100-yard breaststroke (1:01.93) and 200-yard breaststroke (2:19.95). Ethan Domanico (New Windsor/Newburgh Free Academy) won the 200-yard butterfly (2:04.17) and was the top finisher as an exhibition entry in the 100-yard butterfly (53.65).
 
Cortland's other win on the day came from the 200-yard medley relay team of Poli, Arnberg, Domanico and Sam Zani (Irondequoit) with their time of 1:38.40. The 400-yard freestyle relay of Bernhardt, Domanico, Jack-Henry Whalen (Yorktown Heights/Yorktown) and Mason Rowlands (Campbell Hall/Washingtonville) finished second in 3:20.58.
 
Dylan Monaco (Lynbrook) notched a pair of runner-up finishes with times of 2:04.18 in the 200-yard butterfly and 5:06.98 in the 500-yard freestyle. Patrick Kivlehan (Highland Mills/Monroe-Woodbury) completed Cortland's sweep of the 500-yard free with his third-place time of 5:13.95.
 
Zani finished second in the 50-yard freestyle (22.83) and Whalen was second as an exhibition entry in the 100-yard butterfly (54.89). Kellen Dickman (Montgomery/Valley Central) placed second in the 100-yard breaststroke (1:03.67), Jack Pagel (Cortlandt Manor/Walter Panas) was second in the 200-yard backstroke (2:08.00), and Hunter Sugrue-Neuendorf (Valley Cottage/Nyack) finished second in the 200-yard breaststroke (2:20.77).
