MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University men's and women's swimming and diving teams finished competition at the WV State Games with the men's team placing first and the women's team placing second on Saturday at The Aquatic Center at Mylan Park in Morgantown.

The highlight of the day came in the diving well as two divers posted NCAA Zone Diving Championship qualifying scores on the 1-meter springboard.

Krusinski placed second on the 1-meter with 286.80 points. Recker placed first on the 1-meter with 322.80 points.
The men's swimming and diving team began the day in dominant style, with three relay teams finishing in the top three of the 400-yard medley relay. The women's swimming and diving team placed a relay team in second place with a final time of 3:51.21.
Senior Braden Osborn was a major contributor for the Mountaineers, placing first in the men's 100-yard butterfly (50.20). Osborn was also part of two relay teams that placed first in the 400-yard medley relay (3:19.99) and the 200-yard freestyle relay (1:22.57).
Sophomore Maddie Smutny had a dominant performance in the women's 500-yard freestyle, touching the wall at 5:01.79 to place first for WVU.
