The Panthers welcome back a strong group of returners along with six first-year competitors. Senior captain Luke McNamara had a stellar 2024-25 season, resetting the program record in the 200-yard (1:50.31) and 400 (3:58.47) individual medley (IM) events. He garnered his initial All-NESCAC nod after touching the wall with a runner-up finish in the 400 IM. McNamara produced five top-three finishes individually during his junior season.
Nathan Stellmach will serve as a captain and looks to build off a solid campaign after studying abroad last fall. Stellmach was in the lineup for the conference meet, swimming in the 50 and 100 breaststroke and the 50 freestyle events.
Andrew Dou, Prin Chantarangkul and John Masiello return to the lineup this winter. Dou is a butterfly specialist, swimming a leg on the program record-setting 200 medley relay a season ago at the NESCAC Championship. Chantarangkul tallied a quartet of top-three individual finishes last winter, highlighted by two runner-up swims in the freestyle events. He was also a member of the record-breaking medley relay quartet. Masiello is set to compete in the breaststroke and freestyle events and swam the anchor leg on the program-record 800 free relay swim during the conference meet. He was seventh with an NCAA ‘B’ cut time in the 100 breaststroke and 10th in the 200 at the same event. Masiello earned podium finishes six times, highlighted by three event victories.
