A little downer news amidst an otherwise great week for Virginia Atletics
As first reported by the Daily Progress, former first year Virginia swimmer Anthony Marcantonio filed a lawsuit in federal court in Charlottesville this week. The suit alleges counts of assault, battery, false imprisonment, hazing, tortuous interference with a contract, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence and two counts of conspiracy to commit those acts from last August for alleged acts towards himself and other first-year swimmers.
The five named defendants - Kyle Dudzinski, Luke Papendick, Charles Rommel, David Ingraham and Jacob Pearce - were all upperclassmen at Virginia at the time.
