Jonny Farber - 2024 Terrier Invite

Farber Sweeps Backstroke Events, Terriers Take Second at Terrier Invite

November 24, 2024

BOSTON — Highlighted by sophomore Jonny Farber's backstroke sweep completion, the Boston University men's swimming & diving team finished up at the 18th annual Terrier Invite Sunday evening, taking second of six teams at the FitRec competition pool with 1,237.5 points.
 
Farber finished the 200-yard backstroke in 1:46.34, coming from behind to win the event for the Terriers after winning the 100 back the night before.
 
The Terriers had three swimmers place in the top six of the 1650 free, with freshman Giovanni Sullo taking second (15:28.98), freshman Charles Schreiner finishing third (15:35.11) and senior Dolan Grisbaum finishing sixth (15:59.18).
 
Sullo's time is good for third all-time at BU and Schreiner's mark is fifth all-time in the event. On top of the mile times, Sullo's (9:23.56) and Schreiner's (9:22.38) 1,000-yard splits marked the fifth- and fourth-best 1,000 free times in program history.

Freshman Diego Rosario competed in the B final of the 200 butterfly, but his performance to win the final (1:50.45) was the 10th-best in program history and would have been the fourth-best time in the A final.
 
In the 400 free relay, the men's A squad finished third, as freshman Derek Cheng, freshman Charlie Nenchev, Farber and senior Pierre Bressan finished in 3:02.27.
 
The Boston College men won the meet in their first appearance at the Terrier Invite since 2022, racking up 1,685.5 points. Following the Terriers were Fairfield (930 points), UMass (840 points), NJIT (766 points) and Bryant (46 points), who brought just its diving squad.
 
This was the last meet of the semester for the Terriers, who return to the pool Friday, Jan. 10 at 6 p.m. at MIT in Cambridge.
