KINGS POINT, N.Y. – The Cortland men's swimming and diving team competed at the non-team scoring U.S. Merchant Marine Academy Memorial Invitational on Saturday. The meet featured competitors from Cortland, Merchant Marine, The College of New Jersey, Kutztown University and Maritime College.
 
Kevin Kohlhoff (West Islip) shattered the school record in 1-meter diving during the meet with an 11-dive score of 547.25 points. The previous school mark was 509.90 points, set by his teammate Kazuki Kadota-Browner (Jericho) last season. Alex Hilldale (Binghamton/Chenango Valley) also competed in diving - he scored 406.50 points on the 3-meter board as the lone men's diver to post an 11-dive score in that event, and he was second behind Kohlhoff on the 1-meter board with 466.20 points. Hilldale hit a NCAA regional qualifying standard with that score and would need to meet the standard one more time to earn a spot at regionals.
