Knoch grad Caden Traggiai (Penn State-Altoona) won gold in the men’s 500-yard freestyle at the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference Championships on Thursday.

His 4:39.58 also reset his own program record by nearly three tenths of a second.

Traggiai followed that up a night later with a 4:20.60 in the 400 individual medley, finishing fourth.

Jomo Goings scored 20 points, and Day Waters scored 20 to lead Slippery Rock men’s basketball to an important 78-71 win over IUP in the penultimate game of the regular season.
