Senior Matt Pelletier won his first career conference championship when he captured the 100 back in 49.61 seconds on Friday at the Patriot League swimming and diving championships, which are taking place at Navy's Lejeune Hall in Annapolis, Md.

Pelletier, who is currently the school record-holder in the 100 back, qualified for the finals with a time of 49.16 in the afternoon session. He followed that performance with a time of 49.61 in the finals later in the evening, which bested Lehigh's Tyler Lareau by nearly half a second. Pelletier is the second active swimmer on AU's roster to claim a Patriot League Championship, as last year, then-sophomore Dory Isaacs won the 100 breast.

In other men's action from Friday, Chris Meadows and Sean McNamara each recorded 12th place finishes in their respective events. Meadows swam a 1:00.00 in the 100 breast while McNamara's result was in the 200 free (1:42.80). Additionally, Ming Ong claimed 13th place in the 400 IM (4:08.71).

On the women's side, Isaacs came up just short of back-to-back titles in the 100 breast, finishing in second place in a time of 1:02.23. Eleanor Clay and Anna Gooding claimed 12th (1:07.19) and 15th (1:08.22) place, respectively, in the event.

Jess Ballance had a busy day in the pool for the Eagles, earning a pair of top seven finishes. She came in sixth in the 100 back (57.30) and seventh in the 100 fly (56.93), good for the fourth fastest time in AU history. Ballance's 100 back time was just shy of her 56.73-second clip that is the second best in program history, which she swam on Thursday in the first leg of the 400 medley relay.

Additionally, the 200 medley relay team of Balance, Isaacs, Elinor Shetter and Leah Breen claimed third place (1:45.01).

In the diving competition, the Eagles' were highlighted by Kelsey Monarch's 10th place finish in the one-meter event.

Both American's men's and women's teams sit in six place through two days of competition. The third and final day of swimming will get underway at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday.
