THOMASVILLE, Ga. – The Thomas University Men's swimming team showed the Rose City a glimpse of what is to come in the 2021-22 season, as the Night Hawks came away with blowout wins over South Georgia State College (163-49) and Point University (171-52) Saturday evening at the Butler-Mason YMCA.
 
Initially scheduled as a Tri-Meet, last minute changes turned Saturday's contest into a double dual meet, but that did not stop Thomas from displaying a profound performance, winning 13 of 14 total events.  While the Night Hawks aced the 200-Yard Medley relay (1:38.25), the clean sweep of events slipped through the team's talons, as Point bested the Green & White in the 200-yard Freestyle relay by a little over half a second.
 
Senior Wyatt Dalton continues to be the Backstroke master, winning the 100-yard (0:54.85) and 200-Yard (2:03.52) events.
 
The Freshmen class picked up its fair share of event wins.  Ty LaRue defeated Point's Xavier Phillips in the 1000-yard Freestyle with a 10:20.92 time before placing second in the 500-yard event (4:57.83) behind fellow Night Hawk Paden Shipp (4:57.57).  Ethan Kilgore won the 100-Yard (0:48.40) and 200-yard (1:49.12) Freestyle events along with the 100-Yard Butterfly (0:53.34), while Diego Alonso placed first in the 100-Yard Breaststroke (1:00.82), 50-Yard Freestyle (0:22.72), and 200-Yard Breaststroke (2:19.67) events.
