Canton, OH. – The 2023 Great Midwest Athletic Conference (GMAC)/Mountain East Conference (MEC) Championships wrapped up on Friday from the C.T. Brannin Natatorium. The Wheeling University Men's Swimming team would finish ninth overall, but ended the tournament with another strong swim. Junior Ethan Banks was the only swimmer to compete on the day as he returned to the distance events to close things out.

Banks would swim in the 1650 Freestyle, an event he has swam in several times this season. He would enter with a seed time of 18:12.46 and was looking to lower that time. He did just that, dropping that seed time by 24 seconds and finished at 17:38.57  to complete his big day. Banks would take 12th overall and 6th overall in the MEC. It finished out what was a strong season for the Cardinals as they now head into the off-season looking to build off of this year's success.

The Wheeling University Men's Swimming team now heads into the off-season as they look for continued growth as they build the program for the 2023-24 season.
