CLARION, Pa. --- The Golden Eagle men's swimming & diving team wrapped up their final home dual of the season, beating Edinboro at the PennWest Duals by a 202-80 score.

The first such occurrence came in the very first event of the day, when the top two Clarion relay teams in the 200 Medley Relay paced the field. The grouping of Connor Cary, Gavin Guckavan, Henry Miller and Austin Prokopec led the way with a time of 1:35.52, while the foursome of Dominic Cortopassi, Stewart Messer, David Bocci and Mason Peck edged out the Fighting Scots' top group with a time of 1:37.25.
 
The Golden Eagles' first individual winner of the day came in the 200 Free, with David Bocci and Ryan Ehlers going 1-2 in the event. Bocci led the way with a time of 1:43.62. The Clarion swimmers in the 100 Breast did them one better, posting the top three finishers; Cortopassi took the first place spot with a 58.41, while Miller was fractions of a second behind him at 58.64 and Joe Feiser was third in 1:00.62.
 
Those tight groups proved useful for the Golden Eagles as the meet wore on, with the team's next win not coming until Gavin Guckavan touched the wall in 21.56 in the 50 Free.
