The New York University sixth-ranked men's swimming team pulled out victories over both #3 Johns Hopkins University and #13 The College of New Jersey in a home meet on Saturday, November 19, at the Palladium Natatorium in Manhattan. 

The Violets defeated the Blue Jays 153-109 and prevailed over the Lions 161-101. 

NYU posted multiple victories in sweeping both opponents. Leo Han was a big contributor to the Violets' success, winning the 100 backstroke in 50.76, the 200 backstroke in 1:50.52 and the 100 butterfly with a time of 50.04.

Ajay Watanakun claimed the 50 freestyle title in 20.52, an NCAA Division III B cut.

Gavin Egerton bested the field in the 200 butterfly, clocking 1:53.32. 

Jaeden-Hans Yburan powered to a victory in the 200 individual medley, taking the lead in the breaststroke and pulling ahead with every stroke in the freestyle to win in 1:53.41. 

"Hopkins is one of the top teams in the nation, and it was awesome that we didn't back down and went after them," Head Coach Trevor Miele said. "Super impressive to beat a pair of top-15 teams."

The swimmers are back in action on December 2-4 for the Bruno Invitational, hosted by Brown University in Providence, RI.
