WILLIAMSTOWN,
MA -- The Williams
College women's swimming and diving team glided to a 197-90 victory
against Union College, increasing their winning streak to five. The
Ephwomen showcased their tremendous depth, winning eleven out of
the sixteen events, including sweeps in the 100-yard backstroke,
100-yard breaststroke, 200-yard butterfly, 200-yard backstroke,
200-yard breaststroke, and 500-yard freestyle, while experimenting
with events.
Hannah
Wilson dominated both the 1 and 3-meter dives, qualifying for
nationals in both.
Williams
set the dominant tone from the start of the meet, not giving up a
first place until the 100-yard freestyle, where Union's Erica
Fugger (55.75) just outreached Williams' Abbie Deal by 0.03
seconds.
The
Ephwomen struck back in the next event, as Caroline Wilson
(2:07.97) and Katharine O'Leary (2:15.90) took the top spots
in the 200-yard backstroke.
“The
women turned out solid performances despite going through a hard
week of work. Kelsey
Roggensack and Christina Metcalf had great swims. The Turner sisters also swam
admirably,” said head coach Steve Kuster.
Roggensack
established an NCAA B-cut time in the 200-yard butterfly
(2:06.64). Caroline
Wilson picked up two NCAA B-cuts in the 200-yard backstroke
(2:07.94) and 100-yard butterfly (57.87), while Christina Metcalf
