UMBC didnt win the mens 4 free relay
Don Juan – this is a press release, so it was written entirely by the UMBC athletic department. Those three events come at the end of the meet, so it’s likely Navy exhibitioned all their swimmers and relays. We typically don’t count those as wins for the opposing team, but many schools’ athletic communications staffs do.
