ITHACA, N.Y. – Senior freestyle distance specialist Jake Lawson celebrated his Senior Day with a pair of individual victories, but it was Brown (4-3, 4-3) that swam away with the win, prevailing over the Cornell men's swimming and diving team (1-6, 0-6), 186-114, on Saturday afternoon at Teagle Pool in Ithaca, N.Y.

Lawson made the most of his final meet competing in the Teagle Pool, winning both the 500 freestyle (4:33.28) and 1,000 freestyle (9:22.04) races. Lawson's two wins accounted for just a couple of the Big Red's individual wins on Saturday, as Cornell had the top performance in five events.

The Big Red posted the top-two times in the 50 freestyle, with Sebastian Wolff touching the wall first in 21.12 and Ian Mackey finishing just behind in second in 21.18. Wolff added a second-place finish in the 200 IM (1:50.61) and also swam a leg on Cornell's winning 200 medley relay team.

Wolff teamed up with Paige daCosta, Jacob Bass, and Joseph Gurski for the 200 medley relay, as the team produced a winning time of 1:30.30. Bass and Gurski excelled in their respective events as well, with Bass winning the 100 breaststroke (56.43) and Gurski placing second in both the 100 butterfly (49.40) and 200 butterfly (1:49.72).

Jameson Crandell notched a pair of top-two showings in the diving events, finishing as the runner-up in both the 1-meter (300.08) and 3-meter (327.23) disciplines. Crandell had company in both events, with Soodong Kim finishing third in the 1-meter (278.03) and Matthew Warren placing third in the 3-meter (288.53).

The Cornell men's swimming and diving team will be back in action next weekend for a pair of meets at Columbia on Saturday, Jan. 29 at 1 p.m. at the Percy Uris Natatorium in New York and Binghamton on Sunday, Jan. 30 at the Patricia A. Saunders Aquatic Center in Vestal.
