Men's Swimming Closes out MAC Championship Meet 

Wilkes-Barre, PA - Freshman Eric Kramer (Watsontown, PA/Warrior Run) won his third individual championship, set his second school and pool record, and was named the David Eavenson Most Outstanding Swimmer to highlight Albright's run on Day Three of the MAC Championship meet Sunday night. Fellow Freshman Chris Sheerer (Leola, PA/Conestoga Valley) was named the MAC Rookie of the Year after winning one title and finishing second in two other races. Albright finished in second place in the meet, trailing only Widener in the race for the conference crown.

Kramer completed his trifecta with a riveting performance in the 1,650 freestyle. He finished the race in an time of 16:41.58, eclipsing the CYC pool mark, as well as the old Albright mark of 16:43.28 set by Matt Stumhoffer in March of 2003. Kramer had company in the 1,650, as junior Kyle Torrens (West Chester, PA/West Chester East) placed fourth in 17:21.09 and freshman Ryan McGroarty (Media, PA/Penncrest) was eighth in 17:51.33. Junior Mike Stoloski (Newtown, PA/Council Rock North) turned in a record-setting performance in the 200 butterfly, finishing second in the race in 1:59.03 to break the old mark of 1:59.77 set by Andy Ikeler in 2004.

Freshman Matt O'Neill (Ridley Park, PA/Ridley) finished right behind Stoloski in third place, finishing in 2:03.41. Sheerer took second place in the 200 backstroke, leading three Lions in the "A" final with a time of 1:56.90. Junior John Ferrara (Lebanon, PA/Cedar Crest) placed sixth with a time of 2:05.33, while senior David Kile (Spring Grove, PA/Spring Grove) was eighth in 2:09.78. In the 200 breaststroke freshman Jordan Hash (Shrewsbury, PA/Susquehannock) picked up a third-place finish, coming home in 2:20.98. Senior Adam Daney (Newtown, PA/Council Rock North) and sophomore Jack Kubacki (Reading, PA/Antietam) went 4-5 in the 100 freestyle, with Daney finishing in 49.31 and Kubacki touching the wall in 49.33.

In the final event of the meet, Albright finished second in the 400 free relay. Kramer, Kubacki, Daney, and Sheerer teamed up to finish in a time of 3:12.35.
