BALTIMORE, Md. - After a week of online voting, Goucher Athletics has announced the Men's and Women's Swimming All-Decade Teams. We would like to thank everyone that voted! Congratulations to the members of the 2010s Goucher College Men's Swimming All-Decade Team and the 2010s Goucher College Women's Swimming All-Decade Team. 

To be eligible for the All-Decade Team, a student-athlete must have competed for at least one season between the 2010 and 2019 seasons.

MEN'S SWIMMING ALL-DECADE TEAM
 You can talk about the 2010s decade without the Richter brothers. Colin and Morgan Richter, natives of Cleburne, Texas, are two of the best swimmers in the decade and probably in program history. They competed together from 2012 to 2016 for the Blue and Gold.

Colin, who is a seven time medalist and five-time all-conference performer, won the 200 IM in his senior year (1:53.15), placed second (1:53.64) in the event as a junior and finished third in the 200 IM (1:57.05) in his first year in Baltimore. He finished second in the 200 back as a junior (1:53.99) and as a senior (1:54.05) while also earning a bronze medal in the 100 back (53.97) and the 200 back (1:57.64) in his freshman campaign. Colin has the best times in program history in the 100 back (52.37, 2016), 200 back (1:53.99, 2015), 200 IM (1:53.15, 2016) and the 400 IM (4:10.56, 2016), and he holds Top-10 times in the 50 free (21.32, 2016) and 100 free (47.93, 2015). 

Morgan, who is a nine-time All-Landmark Conference first-team performer, is one of the best butterfly swimmers in Landmark Conference history with seven first-place finishes in his career. He won the 200 fly (1:59.64) as a freshman and then swept the 100 and 200 fly in his final three seasons (2014 – 100 fly, 51.92; 200 fly, 1:54.23 | 2015 – 100 fly, 50.25; 200 fly, 1:51.73 | 2016 – 100 fly, 50.16; 200 fly, 1:49.74).

In his senior year, he became an All-American after finishing eighth in the NCAA Division III Championships with a time of 1:50.59 and also competed in the 200 fly on the national stage with a 22nd-place standing (49.48). Morgan, who also swam in two other "A" finals and a "B" final in his career, is the program record holder for times in the 500 free (4:38.44, 2015), the 1000 free (10:06.13, 2016), the 1650 free (17:01.27, 2014) and holds Top-10 times in the 100 free (47.23, 2016) and 400 IM (4:39.25, 2014).
