The Binghamton swimming and diving program closed out its season at the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference Championship this weekend, with five members representing the Bearcats. Binghamton had not participated in the event since 2007.

Sophomore Corinne Zotter highlighted the outing for BU, taking second place in the 100 breast with a time of 1:04.02 to become the first member of the women’s squad to take a medal at the ECAC Championship since 2005.

“It was great to see Corinne on the medal stand,” Binghamton head coach Sean Clark said in a press release on www.bubearcats.com. “She was leading much of the race, but was just out-touched by an America East rival [UMBC sophomore Claire Barron].”

Zotter rounded out her weekend with a ninth-place finish in the 200 breast and a 22nd-place finish in the 50 free. She missed the finals in the 200 breast with a 10th place finish in the preliminaries, but won the consolation final with a time of 2:20.85. The time would have been good for third in the final.

“Zotter also regrouped well after failing to qualify for the 200 breast final by swimming an awesome race in the consolation final,” Clark said in the press release.

Freshman Andrew Duszynski finished 22nd in the 200 fly and 26th in the 200 back, notching a pair of lifetime bests in the process with respective times of 1:57.74 and 1:56.40. The rookie also finished 18th in the 100 back.

Senior Lauri Crimmins recorded the second-best time of her career in the 500 free, finishing 36th in a time of 5:16.73. She also finished 32nd in the 200 free.

Freshman Claudia Coccaro notched 20th, 32nd and 33rd-place finishes in the 100 back, 200 back and 100 fly, respectively.

On the boards for Binghamton, sophomore Kim Robertson took 11th on the 3-meter board with a score of 205.85, and 13th on the 1-meter board with a score of 184.20.

“We are pretty happy with the results with the small crew that we took this weekend,” Clark said in the press release. “We had some good performances and lifetime bests, which is always good to see. I think next year we want to attack this meet with more fervor and make a much larger impact.”
