GROVE CITY, Pa. -- It may have been Senior Day at Longnecker Pool, but it was a pair of freshman who led the Grove City men's swimming and diving team past SUNY-Fredonia as Rhys Dickhudt (Troy, Mich./Bloomfield Christian) and Dane Hoselton (Naples, N.Y./Naples Central) each helped the Wolverines to three victories in a 157-140 victory over the Blue Devils on Saturday afternoon.

Hoselton swept the backstroke events while Dickhudt won both the 1650 and the 100 fly as both helped the Wolverines to a relay win. Junior Jeremy Kim (Frederick, Md./New Life Christian) earned a pair of individual victories in the 200 fly and the 500 while seniors Jordan Dehli (Moneta, Va./Staunton River) and Tim Bergquist (Kent, Wash./Kentridge) won the 50 free and 200 breast, respectively.

Hoselton, junior Josiah Vehrs (Fresno, Calif./Homeschooled), Dickhudt and Dehli opened the meet with a victorious time of 1:37.77 in the 200 medley relay and Dickhudt followed with a time of 17:43.71 in the 1650 for his first individual win of the day. Kim (1:49.69) and Vehrs (1:50.73) placed second and third in the 200 free, and Hoselton posted a time of 55.82 to win the 100 back and lead a 1-3 finish with junior Jake Marino (Irwin, Pa./Penn-Trafford).

Bergquist and fellow senior Nick Wargo (Cranberry Township, Pa./Seneca Valley) finished second (1:02.65) and third (1:03.67), respectively, in the 100 breast while Kim pulled away in the final 50 for a victory in the 200 fly in 2:01.75. Dehli then won the 50 free in 21.94 seconds to lead a 1-2-3 Wolverine finish with sophomores Andrew Kisak (Pittsburgh, Pa./Central Catholic) and Brett Gwynn (Irwin, Pa./Hempfield) to give the Wolverines an 85-64 lead into the first diving break.

Kisak (49.69), Vehrs (50.28) and Dehli (52.14) finished 2-3-4 in the 100 free out of the break before Hoselton (2:04.14) and Marino (2:08.38) once again went first and third in the 200 back.
