GREEN AND WHITE RELAYS
The Gryphons placed second in both relay events. In the 200 yard medley relay, senior Cameron Martinez (Aledo, Texas/Aledo) teamed with rookies Dawa Lama (New York, N.Y./The Beacon School), Anthony Lee (Stevensville, Md./Kent Island) and Jack Langland (Ottumwa, Iowa/Ottumwa) to post a time of 1:51.92, more than a second faster than the team's season debut at Stevens. The 200 freestyle relay saw the same quartet post a time of 1:37.96, a mere three seconds off of school-record pace.

TRIPLE CROWN
True to form, Martinez touched the wall first in all three of his events. He won the 200 individual medley in 2:05.81, the 100 butterfly in 52.81 and the 50 butterfly in 24.43. The Gryphon was the highest-scoring male swimmer at the meet, and the only to man win three events.

LEE WINS TWO EVENTS
Behind Martinez, rookie Lee was one of only two other male swimmers to win two events. He won the 50 freestyle in 23.72 seconds and the 200 free in 1:57.29. Lee also took second in the 100 freestyle (51.03), while both his 100 free and 200 free times are the team's fastest this season.

SEASON DEBUTS

Langland raced in the 200 free for the first time, placing second (2:14.53). Also, Callum Bayle-Spence (Brooklyn, N.Y./Friends Seminary) hit the pool for the first time as a Gryphon, collecting most of his points with a pair of fifth-place finishes. Rookie Derick Edgren (Fort Collins, Colo./Auburn (Ill.)) also raced in two new races, making his collegiate debut in the 200 individual medley and 100 breaststroke, placing fifth in both events.

BACKSTROKE & I.M.

Durfee) picked up points in the 50 freestyle by taking more than a second off his personal best to earn sixth place; he also contributed to the Green and White 'B' Relays. Shaurya Chawla (New Delhi, India/Pathways World School) took several seconds off his 50 freestyle personal best and secured four points in the meet with a sixth-place swim in the 50 yard butterfly.
