BOSTON – Highlighted by record-breaking performances by sophomore Giovanni Sullo and senior Tony Ponomarev, the Boston University men's swimming & diving team finished runner-up at the three-day Terrier Invite.

Totaling six top-three results over six events Sunday evening, the Terriers took second with 1,288 points to improve on last year's performance by 50.5 points and place ahead of Fairfield (853.50), UMass (781.50) and Bryant (742) with the divers from Army West Point (82) and Colgate (53) rounding out the standings. Boston College pulled away late from BU to win the title at 1,428 points.

Sullo set both a program and pool record in the 1,650 with a time of 15:17.84, surpassing Tommy Hagerty's ('20) school record time (15:18.68), and Army's Tom Ottman's nine-year-old pool record time (15:22.66). Sophomore Charles Schreiner (15:33.41) added a third-place result in the event.

During the 200 back prelims, Ponomarev posted a time of 1:43.33 to top Connor Stuewe ('15)'s program-record time of 1:43.38 and the previous pool record held by Georgetown's Drew Carbone (1:44.85) since 2021. Ponomarev later placed first in the final at 1:45.03. Junior Jonny Farber (1:47.67) added a third-place result, just missing out on second by .19 seconds to Fairfield.

After sophomore Gannon Flynn placed second in the 200 breaststroke at 1:59.53, classmate Diego Rosario finished third in the 200 fly with a time of 1:48.92. In the other two events, junior Henry Dvorak (45.41) led BU in the 100 free in eighth place and later helped freshman Jinu Hong, freshman Nathan Lee and sophomore Charlie Nenchev place fifth in the 400 free relay at 3:01.05.

The Terriers will next take an extended break and open the new year at Colgate on Jan. 10.
