Ewing, NJ … The College of New Jersey men's swimming and diving team won its fourth consecutive New Jersey Athletic Conference title by defeating Rowan University 169-103 in TCNJ's Aquatic Center on Saturday.
 
The victory by the Lions (8-1, 4-0) also marked the 16^th straight NJAC victory since the conference resumed sponsoring swimming and diving as a sport in 2008-09. They won every event but two, handing the Profs (5-1, 2-1) their first loss of the season.
 
Senior Ryan Clark (Ocean, NJ/St. Augustine) led TCNJ with a pair of individual event wins and also competed on the winning 200-medley relay team. Clark placed first in the 100-free with a time of 46.29 and also took top prize in the 200-free, finishing in 1:42.76.
 
Classmate TJ Burns (Clarks Summit, PA/Abington Heights) also put forth another stellar performance winning both the 1- and 3-meter events. He posted scores of 364.25 (1-meter) and 369.10 (3-meter) to claim both events.
 
In the distance events, junior Mike Caputo (Staten Island, NY/Curtis) touched the wall first in both the 500- and 1000-freestyle races. He registered a time of 4:51.94 in the 500 and 10:07.10 in the 100.
 
Junior Evan Paulan (Westfield, NJ/Westfield) and freshman Aleksander Burzynksi (Colonia, NJ/St. Joseph's) also won multiple individual events.

The meet also marked the final home event for five seniors on the team. TJ Burns, Jeff Capone, Ryan Clark, Matt Kauffman, and Jesse Taylor have now been a part of four NJAC titles, three Metropolitan Conference championships, and cumulative 35-5 dual meet record during their tenure. They were also members of the Lions team that placed sixth at the 2010 NCAA Championships, the best finish in program history.
