Williamstown, MA - the
Williams College men and women's swimming and diving teams
cruised past Connecticut College in their first home contest of the
season. The team clinched first place victories in 26 out of 30
total events, winning 211-118 and 227-102 respectively against the
Camels. Freshman standout Caroline Wilson broke a pool record,
posting an impressive 10:05.75 in the women's 1000-yard
freestyle race.
Williams started off the meet with sophomore

bit of momentum in events two and three, freshman Chris Corbett and
sophomore Logan Todhunter helped redeem the Ephs, earning top spots
in the 50-yard breaststroke (27.79) and butterfly (25.57). Corbett
also picked up wins in the 100 and 200 breaststroke (1:00.62,
2:10.07) and 400 IM (4:15.03), while Todhunter also won the 50-yard
freestyle (24.40).

and 10:59.12. In the men's 1000 free, freshman Paul Dyrkacz
came in at 9:50.97 closely followed by teammates John Armstrong

up a pair of wins for the Ephs, posting 1:43.95 in the 200 and
4:48.66 in the 500-yard freestyle.
