SINGAPORE — Notre Dame seniors Tommy Janton and Marcus Reyes-Gentry wrapped up competition at the 2025 World Aquatics Championships this weekend, and both student-athletes will return to the United States with something to celebrate.
Janton, who earned a spot on the United States National Team by winning the 100 backstroke at the USA Swimming National Championships in June, won a bronze medal as the backstroker on the men’s 400 medley relay. He also swam the 100 backstroke, finishing with a time of 53.87.
While competing for Mexico, Reyes-Gentry led off the 400 medley relay with a time of 54.04, a new Mexican record by 0.23 seconds. The relay team’s time of 3:35.81 was also a Mexican record as was Reyes-Gentry’s 50 backstroke time of 24.98.
In addition to Janton and Reyes-Gentry, Notre Dame graduates James Lichtenstein, Chris Guiliano and Abdelrahaman Elaraby competed at the meet. Lichtenstein, who dove for Notre Dame from 2013-17, won the gold in the 27 meter high dive with a final score of 428.9, his first win in international competition. It was also the first time the United States has had a world champion since 2017.
