FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Five members of the Dartmouth men’s and women’s swimming team competed in the TYR Pro Series held in Fort Lauderdale. This event consisted of elite competition from all over the country, including former Olympians and world record holders.
 
Izzy Mundee, Jagger Stachtiaris, Tommy Erwin, William McClelland and Jacob Turner were the five athletes that represented Dartmouth at the meet.
 
“Our TYR Pro group raced exceptionally well to open the LCM season after just a few weeks of spring training. Having swimmers walk away with best times or being right on their best times in main events is a testament to their dedication and energy for being on deck at this competition. The ability for our student-athletes to compete against the best in the world, witness historic world records, and see themselves as true competitors at this level of our sport was a huge opportunity for our program. It truly was a fun and fast few days of racing,” said Head Coach Milana Socha.
 
Turner went a lifetime best time in the 200 fly finishing in the position of 2^nd alternate for finals (26^th) with a time of 2:05.00. He earned a place in the B-final in both the 200 IM (2:03.58) and 400 IM (4:28.40) placing 10^th and 15^th respectively in those events.
 
 
Mundee competed in a 200 free time trial and went a lifetime best time in the event, going a 2:07.53. In addition, she swam her 2^nd fastest time ever in the 800 free, 9:11.38, finishing 42/57.
 
 
Stachtiaris achieved new lifetime best times in every event he competed in throughout the meet including the 200 fly (2:06.36), 100 fly (55.41), and 50 fly (25.98).
 
 
Erwin, after coming off a week long illness, was still able to place as high as 28^th in the 200 back with an impressive time of 2:07.72.
 
 
McClelland went a lifetime best time in his 50 fly, going a 25.60, and was right on his lifetime bests in his other events of 100 free (53.00) and the 50 free (23.65).
