SALISBURY, Md. – In their final tune-up before the 2022 Atlantic East Conference Men's Swimming Championships on Feb. 11-13, the St. Mary's College of Maryland men's swim team closed out the regular-season with a non-conference dual meet at Salisbury University on Saturday afternoon. St. Mary's College (5-6) took a 141-76 defeat in the short course meters meet as the host Sea Gulls (4-1) won nine of 14 events.
 
One of the highlights of the meet was first-year Luke Schwenk (Annapolis, Md./Broadneck) setting a Maggs Pool record in the 50 backstroke with a time of 26.95, shaving off 1.48 seconds from the previous mark of 28.43 set by York College of Pennsylvania's Greg Williams in 2019.
