WORCESTER, Mass. --  Junior Jonny Boains (Unionville, Conn./Farmington HS) had the highest day two finish for the Bentley University men's swimming and diving team during the Gompei Invitational at WPI Saturday night. He took third place in the 100 yard individual medley with a time of 54.55.

Freshman Jarod Yoshihara (Irvine, Calif./University HS) had a pair of top ten finishes as he was fourth in the 200 backstroke (1:54.89) and tenth in the 500 freestyle (4:50.48).

In the one-meter diving, senior Greg Coleman (Lake Ronkonkoma, N.Y./Sachem North HS) was fourth (402.70) and classmate Nick Cilia (Brentwood, N.H./Exeter HS) finished eighth (332.25).

Bentley's other top ten finish on Saturday came in the 200 free relay with the Falcons tenth in 1:27.54. That quartet consisted of freshman Alper Alkaya (Milan, Italy) and seniors Liam Bartlett (Syracuse, N.Y./William Nottingham HS), Colin McCarthy (Glastonbury, Conn./Northwest Catholic HS) and Davis Wilson (Ransom Canyon, Texas/Lubbock HS).

In the combined team scores, which includes both men's and women's results, Bentley is fifth among 13 teams with 1,600.5 points. WPI has a commanding lead with 3,040, nearly 600 more than second-place Rowan University.
