TOWSON, Md. – The Johns Hopkins Blue Jays made the short trip to Burdick Pool Friday for a meet with Towson and came away with a 148-127 victory over the Tigers in the first of two meets scheduled this weekend for Towson.

Nick Schmidt won the 100-yard butterfly and the 200-yard freestyle for the Blue Jays, who have now won five straight meets.

The Tigers had a great deal of success in the distance events Friday, as Towson (3-7, 1-3 CAA) possessed the top three finishers in the 500-yard freestyle and the 1,000 yard freestyle.

Zack Stone won the 500-yard freestyle with a time of 4:45.87 and freshman Matt Lowe was right behind with a 4:45.93 finish for the Tigers. Freshman Matt Collingwood took third place in the event for the Towson.

“Matt Lowe continues to impress me,” Towson Head Coach Pat Mead said. “He is consistently swimming fast week-in and week-out, and he's swimming the distance events, which is a hard thing to do, mentally and physically.”

In the 1,000-yard freestyle, senior Wesley Foltz won the event with a time of 9:43.63. Lowe finished second, while classmate Philip Forrester finished in third place.

The Tigers have a quick turnaround before a meet at Old Dominion Saturday in a battle of Colonial Athletic Association squads. The meet begins at 1 p.m. in Norfolk, Va.
