Oswego, NY – First-year collegians Aurelia Leonard and Connor Tasselmyer each won three individual events to headline a strong day for the Clarkson University Swimming & Diving team as the Golden Knights swept Oswego State on Saturday afternoon.

The Golden Knights' women won 186-83 over the Lakers, while the men won 182-100. Clarkson will host its lone meet of the 2022-23 season next Saturday against St. Michael's.

Freshman Aurelia Leonard won three individual starts, taking the top spot in the 100 butterfly (1:03.18), 100 backstroke (1:02.31), and 50 butterfly (28.05), and later helped the 200 freestyle relay team, which also included Ava Lamontagne, Gabriela McSwieney, and Bella Triolet, with a time of 1:46.83. McSwieney also picked up a pair of wins in the distance freestyle races, winning the 1000 freestyle in 11:33.40 and later the 500 freestyle with a time of 5:35.41.
