EDINBORO, Pa. --- The Golden Eagles men's swimming & diving team continued their first weekend of action in 2025, beating Edinboro 113.5-64.5 at the PennWest Duals on Saturday afternoon.
 
It was Clarion's day from beginning to end on Saturday, with the Golden Eagles fielding the event winner in 11 of the 13 races at McComb Fieldhouse.

In the case of the former, the quartet of Mason Peck, Dominic Cortopassi, Gavin Guckavan and Austin Prokopec led the way with a time of 1:34.32, more than two seconds ahead of the finish by the Fighting Scots' foursome.
