CORTLAND, N.Y. -- The State University of New York Athletic Conference announced its all-conference swimming and diving teams on Feb. 26.
In addition, Stephanie Andrasek (Parma, Ohio/Normandy) broke a school record this past weekend at the SUNYAC Meet that was not previously reported. Andrasek's time of 2:28.47 in the 200-yard breast stroke occurred late in the meet on Saturday and placed her in the Blue Devil annals.
The SUNYAC swimming and diving champions in each individual event earned a spot on the All-Conference First Team. The athletes who placed second and third in individual events are recognized on the All-Conference Second Team.
For the men, Ryan Fuller (Endicott/Union-Endicott) was named the men's Diver of the Meet and First Team all-conference. He won both the 1-meter and 3-meter boards. His score of 511.80 was a new SUNYAC Meet record.
Second Team honors went to John Estanislau (East Longmeadow, Mass./East Longmeadow) and Rafael Santiago (Middletown). Estanislau was second in the 100-yard freestyle and 100-yard butterfly.
