PHILADELPHIA – The University of Pennsylvania men's swimming and diving team will have two participants when action begins Tuesday at this year's Phillips 66 National Championships in Indianapolis.
 
Looking to defend his crown from last season, Matthew Fallon is back in action this week alongside teammate Daniel Gallagher.
 
Fallon will swim four races—the 200m breaststroke, 50m breast, 100m breast and 200m IM—while Gallagher is set to take part in the 200m backstroke.
 
Fallon, who comes into the week with the fastest 200m breast time in the nation (2:07.91), became the national champion in the event last season in Irvine, Calif.
 
He claimed two bronze medals at Ivy Championships in February, taking third in the 200-yard breaststroke (1:53.34) and third in the 100 breast (52.72), while swimming to a 10th-place finish in the 500 free with a time of 4:22.10. Though qualifying for NCAA Championships for the second straight year, the rising junior did not compete due to injury.
 
Gallagher also found success at Ivies, swimming a personal-best time of 3:50.06 in the 400 IM to place ninth, winning the B-Final and earning an NCAA B-Cut. He also took 14th in the 200 back (1:46.29).
 
Fallon will compete on Wednesday (200 breast), Thursday (50 breast), Friday (100 breast) and Saturday (200 IM). Gallagher takes the pool on Wednesday in the 200 back.
 
All heats begin at 10 a.m. EDT while finals begin each night at 7 p.m. EDT.
 
Sessions will be aired live on Peacock each evening of the competition.
