Male Swimmers Drop Home Opener to UMass
November 15, 2000 | Men's Swimming & Diving
Junior David Rozato's (Madrid, Spain) won both the 500- and 1000-meter freestyle events, but it wasn't quite enough for the Terrier Men's Swimming and Diving Team, as it lost to UMass/Amherst in the home opener last Saturday, (November 11th). The final score at Faneuil Pool was 173-121.
The Terriers took a quick lead when freshman Jay Toutant (Madison, WI), senior Jason Walkow (Erie, PA), junior Jeff Graves (Rockwell, TX) and sophomore Jake Jentzer (Bangor, ME) won the 200-meter medley relay with a time of 1:37.75. B.U. was able to maintain the lead through the next three events before the Minutemen took over for good.
Toutant, Graves, and Jentzer also came up with two individual second-place finishes for the Terriers. Toutant was runnerup in the 100 (:54.16) and 200 (2:04.45) backstroke. Graves was second in the 100 (:52.86) and 200 (1:57.97) fly, while Jentzer was second in the 50 (:22.24) and 100 (:47.58) free. Senior Greg Voloshin (Warwick, NY) placed first and second in the 1-meter and 2-meter diving with scores of 288.30 and 292.12, respectively.
Senior Jay Ellow (Bethlehem, PA) also swam well for the Terriers as he won the 200 freestyle (1:46.90) and was a part of the winning 800 freestyle relay team (7:39.40) along with Toutant, Jentzer, freshman Kyo Takano (Ardsley, NY) and senior Shane Steele (Greenville, PA).
