ERIE, Pa. -- The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford swim teams wrapped up the 2019 Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference Championships Saturday at Penn State-Behrend.

"This meet is an absolutely remarkable experience," Head Coach Doug Alban said. "These athletes have put in a tremendous amount of work and now have reaped the benefits. This is a very special group that built strong bonds to accomplish great things and I cannot be more proud of them. They have represented the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford exquisitely."

The Pitt-Bradford men's team finished third in the four-day event with 228 points. The women's team finished fifth with 27 points.

Penn State-Behrend picked up the AMCC Championship while Alfred State earned the Runner-Up in both the men's and women's competition.

The Penn State-Altoona men and women both earned fourth place while Franciscan finished third in the women's competition. SUNY Delhi grabbed fifth on the men's side and sixth on the women's side.

Caleb Hansen and Noah Frederick picked up third-place finishes to highlight the Panther performances Saturday.

Hansen's finish came in the 200-backstroke in 1:59.31 while Frederick's came in the 200-breaststroke with a time of 2:17.35.

In the women's 100-freestyle, Kayla Broad grabbed fifth place with a time of 57.95.

"It is also bittersweet as the collegiate swimming career of Devyn comes to an end," Alban said of his senior. "He was a strong leader for us who wore his heart on his swimsuit. I am extremely happy to see him finish with several lifetime bests. His dedication has been exemplary and has shown his teammates what it means to be a true Panther. On behalf of the entire team, I wish him all the best."
