Ithaca, NY – The Vassar College Men's Swimming and Diving team is off to a strong start at the 2025 Liberty League Championship following Wednesday's preliminary session. A strong all-around session Wednesday morning featured a new school record in the 50-yard freestyle for senior Hayden Ehrenfeld (Long Beach, CA).
 
Ehrenfeld led the way for four Brewers who swam through to Wednesday's final session in the 50-yard freestyle. Ehrenfeld touched out in a new school record time of 21.07, eclipsing the previous mark of 21.30 set by Luc Amodio set in 2013.
 
Sophomore Lucas Jauregui (Barrington, RI) also clipped the previous school standard and will swim in the 'B" final Wednesday evening after posting a preliminary time of 21.22 seconds, a season-best mark in the event. First Year Mike Seaton (Hoboken, NJ) will join Jauregui in the 'B' final after swimming a lifetime best time of 21.62 seconds. Classmate Eli House (Oneonta, NY) will swim in the 'C' final Wednesday evening after posting a lifetime best swim of 22.41 seconds.
 
First Years John Gao (Ann Arbor, MI) and Logan Seiss (Downingtown, PA) each swam through to Wednesday's final session with lifetime best swims in the 200-yard individual medley. Gao qualified 18^th Wednesday morning with a time of 1:59.78 with Seiss posting the 21^st fastest preliminary time with a mark of 2:01.56.
 
Vassar saw both of its 400-yard medley relay teams reach the final session on Wednesday. The A squad of Jauregui, Gao, Seaton and Ehrenfeld qualified sixth with a time of 3:30.21. The preliminary mark is just .10 off the school record and eclipses the team's seed time by better than a second.
