WALTHAM, Mass. – Ryan McGeary (Paramus, N.J./Bergen Catholic HS) was recently honored as the MVP of the 2016-17 Bentley University men's swimming and diving team following an outstanding sophomore season.

Timothy Fay (Yorktown Heights, N.Y./Yorktown HS) was cited as the team's Most Improved Player and the team's Scholar-Athlete Award went to co-captain Matt Ahlmeyer (Morris Plains, N.J./ Morristown HS).

Ahlmeyer was also voted to the Academic All-Northeast-10 Conference team, as was Frank Elenio (Ridgefield, N.J./Bergen County Academies).

At the NE10 Championships, McGeary earned silver in the 200 yard freestyle, the 500 free, the 800 free relay and the 400 free relay. The six-foot-eight McGeary owns the school record in the 200 free (1:41.82) as well as three relays. During the dual season, he earned seven first-place finishes.

Fay's best times of the season came during exhibition swims at the conference championships where he swam the 200 free in 1:50.53, 4:56.59 in the 500 free and 17:08.18 in the 1650 free. All were improvements of at least six percent from his previous bests.

Ahlmeyer, who graduated in May with a 3.7 GPA in information systems and control, finished his career eighth in program history in the 200 backstroke and tenth in the 200 butterfly. At the NE10 championships, his top finishes included 11th in the 200 back and 13th in the 400 individual medley.

Elenio's sophomore year featured bronze medals in the 200 fly, 200 IM and 400 IM at the conference championships. He owns the school records in both the 200 IM and the 200 fly, as well as a GPA over 3.7 as an accountancy major.

Bentley captured the Northeast-10 Conference championship for the second team in program history after posting a perfect 11-0 dual record.
