CORTLAND, N.Y. – Cortland's men's and women's swimming and diving teams each finished in first place at the Cortland Pumpkin Relays, hosted by the Red Dragons at Holsten Pool.

Cortland's men placed first out of four schools, ahead of Brockport, New Paltz and Potsdam. The Cortland women finished first in front of Brockport, New Paltz and Potsdam (official team points are currently being reviewed and adjusted, but the order of finish is expected to remain the same for both meets).

Cortland hosted the relay meet for the seventh time in the last eight seasons (2017-19, 2021-23, 2025-26; no season in 2020). The event features an unorthodox format with many relays that are normally not held, including a few three-swimmer events.

Cortland's first and second-place finishers were:
