CHESTERTOWN, MD - Senior John Paul Evans (Westminster, MD/Westminster) won three individual events as the host Washington College men's swim team posted a 102.5-100.5 victory over visiting Salisbury this evening at Casey Swim Center.

Sophomore Andy Wesolek (Woodstown, NJ/Woodstown) finished first in the 50 freestyle (23.07) and the 500 freestyle (5:11.03), while senior Alex Kuhn (Washington, PA/McGuffey) won the 100 freestyle (50.96).

The Shoremen also took second place in six individual events. Freshmen Lars Kalp (Everett, PA/Mercersburg Academy) and Chris Tinsman (Georgetown, DE/home school) each had two second-place finishes. Kalp was second in the 1000 freestyle (11:16.53) and the 500 freestyle (5:27.32), while Tinsman was second in the 200 freestyle (1:56.75) and the 100 backstroke (1:02.10).
