Vizental & Huminski Capture Gold During Day 3 of Northeast-10 Championships

WORCESTER, Mass. – Seniors Anthony Vizental (Concord, Calif./Clayton Valley HS) and Mary Huminski (Madison, Conn./Daniel Hand HS) earned gold medals during day three of the 2023 Northeast-10 Conference Swimming and Diving Championships Saturday at Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

Huminski swept the diving for the third time as she made it a three-peat as one-meter champion. She totaled a career-best 435.80 to finish 21.25 points in front of runner-up and teammate Hilla Almog (Wayland/Wayland HS). Huminski's previous championships came in 2022 and 2020, with the 2021 meet cancelled due to CoVID-19.

Bentley also went one-two in the men's 100 yard butterfly with Vizental touching first in 49.34 seconds and senior Ryan Looney (Wilton, Conn./Wilton HS) following in 50.93.

The Falcons collected a total of ten medals Saturday evening, six seconds and two thirds in addition to the two golds.

Other silver medalists were senior Michael Motisi (Ellington, Conn./Ellington HS) in the 400 individual medley (4:08.57), freshman Morgan Kingsley (Cazenovia, N.Y./Cazenovia HS) in the 100 breaststroke (1:06.76) and both Bentley 200 medley relay teams.

Swimming for the women were freshman Taylor White (Warwick, Bermuda/Warwick Academy), junior Emily Blatt (Westford/Westford Academy), Nuzback and senior Kate Galvin (Suffern, N.Y./Suffern HS). For the men, it was sophomore Calvin Ye (Port Washington, N.Y./Paul D. Schreiber HS), Vizental and Looney.

Both bronze medalists came in the 100 backstroke , Ye (52.87) and White (59.07).

Just missing a trip to the podium by one place were freshman Grace Motisi (Ellington, Conn./Ellington HS) in the 400 individual medley (4:42.96), sophomore Jordan Nuzback (Fairview, Pa./McDowell HS) in the 100 fly (58.46), senior Dariana Gonzales (Stamford, Conn./Westhill HS) in the 200 freestyle (1:55.29) and Blatt in the 100 breast (1:07.64).
