MADISON, N.J. - The Drew University men's swimming & diving team competed in the opening night of the Landmark Conference Virtual Championships on Friday in F.M. Kirby Pool.

The championships are being held at four different sites - Catholic, Drew, Juniata, and Scranton. After the diving events are held next weekend, the results of the championships will be merged and team champions will be announced the week of March 8.

Competing for the first time in over a year, the Rangers swam in five events. They kicked off the night, meet, and season in the 200-medley relay, as senior Matheus Macena, sophomore Harrison Neal, freshman Finn Armitt, and junior Josh Roberts clocked a time of 1:33.86.
