The Rockhurst men's swimming and diving team made history in capturing their first-ever dual meet. The Hawks won 10 of 11 events, rolling to a 115.5-89.5 victory over William Jewell Friday night in Liberty, Missouri.

Ali Usama and Mohannad Nada each won two individual races and one relay race to power the Hawks to a convincing win over their cross-town rivals.

Usama won the 50-meter freestyle and 200-meter backstroke. Nada was a winner in the 400-meter individual medley and the 200-meter breaststroke. The duo also swam on the victorious 400-meter medley relay team.

Four other Hawks took home first place in their respective events: Omar Tarek Abla (200 freestyle), Alexandre Adum (200 butterfly), Adam Hamdy Nasr (100 freestyle) and Omar Mohsen (400 freestyle). All four also swam on the winning 400 freestyle relay team.

Abla also finished second in the 100 freestyle, while third-place finishes were picked up by Mohsen (800 freestyle), Preston Hoang (500 freestyle) and Ian Klapper (400 individual medley).

The Hawks will next face Nebraska-Omaha in a dual meet on Oct. 13.
