SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Four Penn State Altoona men's swimming student-athletes earned spots on the All-State University of New York Athletic Conference team, thanks to their performances in the conference championship meet last month.

All-SUNYAC swimmers are determined by their finishes during the conference championships, which were held Feb. 18-21 in Buffalo. Swimmers clinch spots on the all-conference team by finishing among the top three places in events.

Lions senior Caden Traggiai (Saxonburg, PA/Knoch) and freshman Pedro Teran (Allentown, PA/Parkland) were first-team All-SUNYAC swimmers, while senior Adam Dotts (Hummelstown, PA/Lower Dauphin) and sophomore Shuo Sun (Falls Church, VA/China High Schools) took spots on the second team.

Traggiai clinched his spot on the first team when he won the 1,650 Yard Freestyle on February 21 with a time of 16:16.80, a mark that also set a new Penn State Altoona men's swimming record in that event. Teran's first-team status was earned when he placed first in the 200 Yard Freestyle on February 20 with a time of 1:43.03.

Dotts and Sun made the second team of the All-SUNYAC squad when they helped the Lions to a runner-up finish in the 800 Yard Freestyle Relay, partnering with Traggiai and Teran to compile a total time of 7:01.16 to take second place in the race on February 18. That time also set a new Penn State Altoona men's swimming record for that event.

Men's swimming ended the SUNYAC Championships in fourth place with a combined point total of 412.
